What are some typical reasons that you have had to get a (Nikon) lens fixed/repaired? And how much did it cost?
For example, let's say I bought a lens which looks in near perfect condition but after testing it found that it had a back focusing problem as well as something looking very soft on one side at one particular focal length.
The seller "assured" me that he had only used it once or twice. I know it's buyer beware and we take our chances on the used market, but this is the first time that I've had a lens that just doesn't look quite right.
I'm hoping someone's going to tell me that it's not going to be too expensive.
