Effect of slight misalignment of lens

[Startrail]

Hi there, I'm inquiring as to the effect of dropping my lens whilst it was in a camera bag. One my lens seems to have a slight misalignment. Basically, when it's fully retracted, the small little gap that is around it is not equally spaced out, so I'm wondering how will it affect picture quality. So far... it seems that most of my shots are ok, but I'm a little concerned as I am overseas and can't simply switch to another lens. Anyone help? Thanks

BTW, has anyone done a realignment in NSC before? Thank you

Edit : Oh yes, the lens in question is the D70 kit lens Thanks!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Test the shots by downloading them and/or zooming in on the lcd screen to verify, if there's problem then come back and send in for servicing.

I think you must be too concerned. The kit lens originally had some kind of droop. You tilt it the other way, the gap will probably be on the other side. And if you grab it and wiggle it a little, you will find that it will actually move quite a bit.

Ouch! That must had hurted.:bheart:

Since you has affirmed the lens is ok, then don't be mired by the incident. Once you are back, simply send in to NSC for a quick check.

Just my 2-cent.
