Thanks Mark. The replacement cost for the lens (which is a kit lens) is $199. I am considering a new Nikon P510 that doesn't require changing lens. The cost is affordable and it appears to do everything! (except maybe National Geographic cover shots)
NOW I know about the filters and will make sure I always use one. I'm escorting a group of photographers to Machu Picchu in 3 weeks and I want to take a decent camera. I'll be sure to listen in on the conversations to pick up tips for better photos. (& camera care while traveling)
Gracias! Jacquie
Jacquie, If it was the "kit"lens that came with the camera, I would suck it up, and remember to get a UV filter to protect the front element next time. If it was a more costly lens like a 55 Micro Nikkor lens, I would consult with Nikon's repair center in NY, 1(800) NIKON-SV, to ask for an estimate on replacement costs.
Just buy the filter next time and leave it on all the time!
Hope this helps!
Mark
Just got back from guiding a group on an amazing trip to the Tambopata Reserve in Peru. Somehow, while traipsing through endless jungle trails, I managed to scratch the 55 mm lens of my Nikon D-5000.
Is it possible to polish the scratch out? Or do I just need to suck it up and buy a new lens?
