Yeah I'd say so! Give them a call. Or I can ask my photographer buddies what they did. I know 2 of them sent in their crap I mean Nikon's for cleaning.
I'll give them a call tomorrow. I looked up and found a new one for $110, which isn't too bad. Luckily I still have the larger kit lense that came with it to use. I'll tell them their strap broke and my camera fell on the lense, it's their fault!!
You're kidding right? Nikon's warranty doesn't cover dropping it. How is that Nikon's fault?
+1 for B&H. Check out Adorama.com as well. Another NYC major photography/video company.
haha I have seen some of the lens prices out there and there's some pricey stuff to be bought! Sounds like you got yourself a keeper though!
It isn't their fault at all, but like my dad always says, it never hurts to ask! Is there a better lens to be had for under $100 beside the kit lens? I'm not a professional photographer, this is just one of many hobbies of mine.
You're talking more $$ once you step out from kit lenses. I still have all of mine and used to use them religiously. I "upgraded" to a new to me used 18-200 f/4 or f/5.6 I forget the settings. My only issue is that it's old and with a year old camera body it's not playing nice for videos.
That's gonna cost you all kinds of new house shit bro. It's a TRAP!
Since your starting out, don't worry about a zoom lens as the 18-55 isn't really much of a zoom range always. Consider a basic prime lens like the 50 f/1.8D. Better lenses make a huge difference (much more so than camera bodies these days) and prime's are generally considered to be superior to zooms in terms of maximum aperture and image quality.
