Damn those plastic lens mounts.
Long story short, I ended up landing on my camera. I knew when I looked down and saw the lens parallel to the camera I had screwed up. It's like breaking your leg and it's sticking out....you're like CRAP!
Only 2 mounts/guide "rails" broke off and I was actually able to Krazy Glue them back into place just kinda like as new. It actually is still working fine, only difference is a tighter fit. Who doesn't like a tighter fit anyways.
Is it difficult to repair this. Could the part be ordered and me replace it or better just to send it back to Nikon. I have had a problem with my aperture ring and figure this is just another reason to send it back into Nikon. I'm hoping the aperture would be replaced under warranty but I'm not sure about the broke mounts!
I will say it could have been worse. It could have been a metal mount it broke from the body....that would have really sucked.
