My 70-300mm Nikkor lens had a fall last year and the front body had a small line cracked. Auto focusing was compromised a bit and not consistent now. Sent to Nikon Center and they came out with a estimation bill of RM1100 to repair. Therefore need to see you all have any opinion on this. Whether to send for repair and consider buying a new Tamron 70-300mm. Thank you.

I'd suggest to buy a new one. With warranty and whatnot. The old lens you can sell it as spare part for repairmen.

Try posting for sale in garage sales and see who wants it... it's good for spares and parts.
Good luck  |

Buy a new one and sell this lens off.If I was still in Nikon, I'd buy this off you and get it repaired for very cheap under staff privilege lol |
