Hi all,

I have an opportunity to buy a 35-70  3.6. The catch is the lens, although
mint otherwise, has been damaged on the filter ring. There was enough
impact that the face plate (where it says Oly etc) ispopped out slightly.
Now the lens is going in for repair to a local shop who have an excellent
reputation and who give a 6 month warranty with their repairs. Based on
previous experience they won't take a job on unless they can repair it
properly.

My questions are:
        1) repaired vs never damaged - how much impact on pricing?
        2) Can a lens with a pretty serious knock be repaired to "as new"?
        3) Price on this one - repaired - will be about $200 Cndn

Your comments please
Barry
