Camera dropped and the lens is now bent to one side and cannot zoom in and out
Photography Asked by photonaut on July 27, 2021
My camera had its lens zoomed out a little when its tripod fell and now it is bent to one side and cannot zoom in or out. I have a Nikon D5300 with an AF-P DX Nikkor 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G VR lens. Is there any way that I can fix it myself? I’ve tried moving it back into place–but to no avail. With the fear of breaking it, I didn’t push too hard.
One Answer
It's already broken, there's very little you can do to make it better or worse.
Time for a new lens. The cost of repair would be significantly higher than a replacement lens.
You can get those for $£€ 40 on eBay [even less if you're willing to wait out an auction], because so many people get them as part of the kit, then immediately want something better.
