Yes I dropped the lens, even worse on concrete. The shutter in theory
has been repaired. But the elements I fear are damaged as well, ever since
I got the repaired shutter back the lens produces areas of what appears to be flare.
It is usually appearing approximately half way up the 4x5 frame on verticle images
especially. Can the elements be repaired or should I trash this lens and buy a new one.

Sell it on eBay advertised as "the imaging of this lens is so damaged, so
bad that only Sally Mann could love it." You might sell it for a fortune.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> |

It could be an element was knocked out of alignment,
in which case it could be removed and re-glued by a
pro.

Can you look into the elements and identify damaged areas? If it is a
small chip in the surface it can be painted out with flat black paint
to remove the effects of misrefracted light. If theres a crack inside
the lens elements you are best off salvaging the shutter and tossing
the lens, unless you get lucky and can find another element to match
what was damaged.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: What can be done? 90mm Caltar N |

The company S.K. Grimes still exists and still is keeping with its tradition
of doing fine work at fair prices.

That's a very good point, no in the short answer, but I shall be doing that
with other stuff "asap"/ PPA-time.
Let's see insurance for the car, for the life, for medical, for gear
what else does someone smell racket!!! How much simplier could we
make our lives.

Most homeowners policies offer a floater policy that covers photo
equipment for a non-professional.
I had everything stolen from our rental car in Strasburg (sp) France in
1995 and our Homeowner's policy covered more then $25,000 in losses.
Never hurts to ask your insurance agent if your homeowner's policy
covers.
