I asked to repare the lens of DIGITAL ZUIKO 14-54 mm.
I guessed the repair charge as it is about 15,000 yen, and when I ask to go ahead without calling if it is only 20,000 yen", it costed the 19,000 yen.
It is said that the lens frame was distorted although dotage of the right side when using open-aperture by the wide angle was unnatural.
Since it has not dropped, it is the mystery where I threw.
Well, it was good for me to be of use for the travel on the day after tomorrow.
