Does anyone know of a company that services lenses? [View all]

When I shoot events I carry two cameras, usually a Nikon D810 with a 28-70 1:2.8 lens and the other a Nikon D500 with an 80-200 1:2.8 lens.

On Saturday I broke out the cameras to set them up to shoot an Ironman race for the paper. The 28-70's focus was so stiff I would have had to focus the whole job by hand - not an easy task when you're dealing with people riding bicycles past you fast. I put the 80-200 on the D810 and went into the field, where I got some really awesome shots.

I really need the short lens and I need to get it fixed, Is there anywhere you've used that's good? No one in my area can do it and I can't send it to the place the paper sends its own gear to - they shoot Canon and send it to Canon USA for service. I looked on Nikon's service website and this lens isn't listed as one of the ones they work on.
