Help! It's my broken camera lens?
Hello! I have a Nikon D80 and a Nikkor-S 18-55mm AF lens. Recently, this goal has left AF and always try to snap a picture with him, makes him a buzz and no auto-focus, therefore, will not let me take the picture. The goal is still working on the manual and I have no other objectives that still work with my auto focus camera, so I know it must be the goal. You can fix this problem, or I have to find a new target?
The goal is certainly serviceable. You will not know unless you take it to a professional for evaluation. The real question is whether their value the cost of repair. I Nikkor AF-S 18-55 lens at B & H from $ 95 to $ 180. You'll have to compare the costs of repair versus replacement cost specific objective.
