I went to the local landfill today with household junk and branch
trimmings. As I was pulling things off the back of the truck, I noticed
a small black case on the ground a few feet away.
I'm a curious sort, so walked over and picked it up.

I recently repaired my Minolta XD7 (my first SLR). I had the film
chamber foam replaced, the baseplate screwed back on (one side fell off

Most all the newer Nikon "AF-S" series lenses I've handled seem to be very
light.  Are the lens elements themselves being manufactured out of plastic,
or just the barrels?
Thanks,

Does anyone know of a good service center for Nikon in the S.E. Michigan
area?  I have a zoom that I'd like to have cleaned, and lubricated.
Thanks,
