Wow, unbelievable about Midwest. I JUST received my 17-35mm f2.8 AFS back from them a very short time ago. Prior to that, they fully serviced an 85mm f1.4 AIS manual focus Nikkor and it works beautifully today. Truly sad. The turnaround on the 17-35mm repair was very fast. Less than 3-4 weeks. Had to have been one of the final repairs they were working on. I'm feeling pretty lucky I got it in.

"Poppy", from last week, with the D850 and 24-120mm f4 AFS at 85mm and f5.6, with a shoe-mounted SB910, the head pointed up and bouncing the light with a Demb large bounce attachment.

Just this past month I sent Midwest Camera Repair in Michigan a squealing 17-35mm f2.8 AFS, which they re-built the AFS motor/fully overhauled and the thing now works like-new. The added "cost" associated with inexpensive older equipment is the possibility of a write off the older it gets. The 17-35/2.8 has not been discontinued all that long and I'm assuming they may have better access to parts for it than may exist for other, older models. One of your checks may be to check with specialty shops such as Midwest to see what is, or not, possible today and maybe at least for the short-term.

Reflection of Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas in pool at Klyde Warren Park. Any closer and the guards on the two-wheeled vehicles and automatic weapons patrolling the surrounding area might ask what I was doing, LOL. D850 and 16-35mm f4G AFS Nikkor.
