Feeling the urge to experiment I bought a cheap wide angle lens off eBay for my main camera, the Panasonic Lumix FZ38. It arrived and works well however I mistakenly turned the camera off before removing the lens and as a result it wouldn't start up again as the built in lens zooms out then in on start up, which it couldn't do with the wide angle lens attached. My only option was to prise the lens off which worked however in the process of doing so I ended up damaging the surround of the built in lens. Upon further inspection I have found that it is held in place by three pegs, one of which has snapped.
This is the main reason for this post, I have searched online but can't find anywhere which specialises in replacement parts such as this, I was wondering if anyone here had any knowledge of such a place existing. I've contacted Panasonic and they recommended their service agent DK AUDIO VISUAL however it's going to cost atleast £50 going through them so I thought I'd see what my options are first.
Thanks
