Quote:Since the lens is still current (I think???) or discontinued very recently - certainly not before the advent of the 20/1.8G - it's probably still serviced, and parts can be found. I would've left the entire job to the service workers, but since you've already gotten to it, I'd say things are more complicated now...Whether the lens is still being produced I doubt, but it's certainly available new and is listed. Nikon have a nasty habit of charging 300 euros for anything that needs anything... plus postage, there's plenty on the bon coin for €200 and mine is not the prettiest example on the planet. €300 was the quote I got for a replacement VR on my AF-S 70-300 VR with postage around €340, they are available new at that price.
