Dropped my Nikon D50 Saturday and although the camera still works the 18-55 lens doesn't. The lens is not broken at all but it has come apart inside so was wondering if it's worth getting it repaired (If I can) or I am better off buying another lens. If so anyone any recommendations?

thanks

Check to see if it's covered on your house insurance...if it is you'll be able to get a pukka lens biggrin

It's probably cheaper to buy a new lens than to have it repaired.

This is probabaly a stupid question but will that fit mine, is it auto focus?
