The unthinkable happened, my nx300 with the 18-55 kit lens slid off the tripod and the lens broke off (pic below). Thankfully this was not my 16-50 "S" and NX1! NX300 still working. Question, is this lens fixable? Looks like the main data ribbon cable broke off alone with 3 small screws. Everything else looks fine. If not, has anyone bought refurbished nx lenses? I see a 16-50 pz for relatively cheap on eBay. Thanks!

Almost all of my lenses have been bought used and touch wood I haven't had any issues. You could attempt to fix it but if you can find a cheap 16-50pz I'd go for it as (in my opinion) it's a better lens and much more portable when paired with the nx 300.
