Hi,

My DLSR took a knock this evening and fell over attached to the tripod.

The body and lens, as far as I can tell appears to be functioning however zooming down from approx 30mm to 18mm is not possible. The focus does work at longer lengths but, forgive my newbie-ness, didn't seem to want to 'bleep' and allow me to capture an image.

The following part fell out the rear of the lens where it attaches to the camera body.

I have part dis-assembled the lens following an online guide but lack a driver small enough to remove the screws on the front of the lens.

I presume this is a gear part of some sort. Is this repairable? if so what roughly should I expect to pay? or would it just be worth buying a replacement lens?
