Cost for cleaning lens by Nikon Singapore

[sohyp]

For those who have sent their Nikon 80-200 F2.8 for servicing, what is the cost to clean tiny dust specks that are trapped in the interior of the lenses?

Actually done that. Their model answer from those guys is to bring in for evaluation before any quote can be given...

Just need a gut feel what's the 'damage' b/f I send in. In case, if it is too ex, Waste ERP and parking there )

Ai ya, should not have mentioned Carpark.

Actually, it's the hassle of applying a half day off to visit the Nikon 'clinic'. I have been there once, rather long wait if you have pros arguing with the staff

Usually I will also get the same answers from NSC as you but I will still insist
them to quote me the est charge for the cleaning and they will provide me
after checking with the technician.

And for your speck of dust, even you bring down, think the technician
will also advise you no need to clean unless you insist.
I had brought down a few lens before with dust and all brought back
without any cleaning cos the technician say no need..

You can try asking Cathay to send it in for you but you'll need to pay extra service charge. Advantage: no need to take 1/2 day leave.

NSC will charge about $200. That's what I paid 2 years ago.

Frankly, if the dust specks don't affect picture quality, just live with it. Dust will still get in sooner or later.

i see.thanks for the answers.cos actually i'm also facing the same problem too as well. By the way does anyone know how much does it cost to send your camera for servicing?What is the reccomended duration of use anyway?Have used my D70 for 1.5yrs already
