can anyone help me? today i had my canon EOS 1000d in my bag and i dropped my bag, and now my lens for the camera is broken. is there any way to fix this myself, would it be better getting a repairer to fix it, or just buying a new lens?

You haven't got much to lose in trying it but don't expect your lens to last even if it works. http://www.colorblindedphoto.com

Megapixels and high ISO are a digital photographers heroin. Once you have a little, you just want more and more. It doesn't stop until your bank account is run dry.
