Duh... okay, so maybe I overlooked that option :o) But then that's why I
post here; for the collective genius of the list.
Actually, I vaguely remember calling Colorado about this lens some time
ago (I've repaired so many things that I can't keep track of such calls...
it could've been another lens I scratched). I think I remember realizing
that repair wasn't a cost-effective option due to the cost of the front
element. BUT, with that said, I just called again and they asked me to
send it in (but didn't give an over-the-phone estimate). So perhaps I'll
do so... and still buy something for the trip with the intentions of
reselling (i.e., renting a lens).
The bad part though is that every lens I've ever rented is still on my shelf.
Thanks for the suggestion, Perry.
