Cory,
No suggestions, just commiserations.
As one who just got a body back from the shop this week, having been repaired for damages received after a hamfisted drop to the pavement, I feel your pain.
Hopefully, you can get it repaired?
If not, practice composing variations of "We have for auction today on eBay, a lovely Sigma 70-300 APO Zoom. Cosmetically perfect. I don't know much about lenses, but this one looks like it would work real great. All sales final."

cheers,
frank (who was only joking, and would never counsel the commission of a fraud)

While emptying the truck from camping last Sunday my 70-300 Sigma fell out of an unzipped bag and crashed into the concrete driveway. It hit pretty hard.
The dear wife said "Hey, it didn't land on the glass part, it's ok. I'm so sorry..."
I didn't have the heart to look at it until just now. Landed heavy on the
corner of the rear lens cap, marks on the side and the attached lens hood.
Zoom and focus are very sluggish. Tried it on the D*ist. camera has a very
hard time focusing the lens. Enough so that I'd fear doing damage to the
camera body using this lens.
I suppose I'm looking for another lens in this range. I like this lens. It's the Sigma 70-300 APO Macro Super. But I guess I'm looking for something similar and as good or better. Suggestions? Offerings?
Cory Friday not looking as good anymore
