I have a Sony NEX 5r, and one of the first lenses I got for it was the SEL16f28. It is a 16mm f2.8 pancake lens.
I managed to drop the lens form about 4 feet up onto a tile floor.
The lens still registers with the camera, and tries to focus, but the rear element got popped loose. It looks like it was glued in place before, and it basically dislodged.
I picked up the lens for $100 on ebay (the sony price is $250).
I haven't done anything with it since. I figure getting it fixed will probably cost just as much as getting a new one, but I figured I would ask your opinion.
