Re: a sad day !

It depends whats wrong with it... They'd at least be able to try a lens on to see if its the lens or camera body.

What camera is it?

Re: a sad day !

Maybe i should learn from your mistakes
I couldnt afford to replace mine if i dropped it...

rumour has it theres a D50 for sale in the for sale/wanted forum. lol

If you don't know someone who has a nikon with a lens you could try, just take it to jessops and see what they think.

Re: a sad day !

i am very sad for you let us know how you get on

and then when all is well insure it.

photoguard 50 quid a year or a pound a week sure worth it.

but always check the small print


[didnt we have this conversation last year i insure everything and you sadly dont]

i am sorry though always insure whats important

love you

Re: a sad day !

I'm a bit suprised your house contents insurance doesn't cover it. I dropped my electric guitar a few years back and it was covered.
