| I have a friend with a problem with a Nikon 55-300mm lens. He says it is loose when mounted on the body. Can someone tell me where he should have it repaired? |

| Where does he live? I take my gear to the local Nikon repair. |

I send my broken stuff to Nikon in Melville, NY, through Nikon's website.
I've been happy with the price and turnaround.

| I had that same problem with a Tamron. Could never get a solution. I traded it in. Otherwise my choice would be Nikon in Melville as well. |

| Duct tape. Black instead of gray, for aesthetics. |

| Those plastic mounting rings on the cheap DX lenses can get loose over time. They might be able to find a shop in Chicago that will replace the ring with a metal one if it's out of warranty. |

A 55-300 will likely be more expensive to fix than it would cost to buy another on the used market. Nikon won't sell parts to other repair shops, sounless a repair shop has back stock of the exact part he needs, he'll be SOL.
This is one of the reasons I'm not buying any more Nikon gear. |

| Super glue, it's best fix to he problem and holds len's in place. I have did this many, many times. |

| Ask your local photography equipment stores, many of them have in house repairs or will give you a recommendation who can do repairs locally or the best way to fix it...trash, local repair, send to Nikon. My shop here is excellent - I just recently had a lens and a small repair on my camera body done. The guy was impressive to say the least...not olny did he remove the haze/fungus on a lens but fixed a broken spring on the camera mount and gave it a through cleaning. |
