This one did not do well when Hurricane Lee came to Nova Scotia.

I took my 24-120 lens in to Nikon Service in Mississauga about 4 years ago. The auto focus and VR were acting up. First thing, the lady on the desk looks at the lens and tells me when it was manufactured, which gave me confidence. The repair (replacement of internal parts) was fine, although 4 years later this now 14 year old lens occasionally squeaks. The guy in line before me had brought in a nearly new D5 claiming it had stopped focusing. The lady gives it to a tech in back, and about a minute later comes back and says "The camera focuses just fine while on an another menu, so the problem is your settings." Saved him a repair. I also sent in a zoom lens that was beaten up a bit in a fall onto a hard surface. The cost to repair was about $100 -$200 off the cost of a new lens of the next generation, so we instructed them to scrap it. In summary, I have confidence in Nikon Canada knowing what they are doing, but be prepared for a cost that may make it worthwhile to replace the lens.

While cemeteries are for the departed, there can also be life there, including this coyote.
