Ok so my camera is working now but the zoom it messed up an the lense is blury even though there is no sand?

Question

what do i do?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, I think that sand damage is not fixable. It sounds like the gearing mechanism for the lens is pretty out of whack, even though you got the camera *working*. Unless this is a high end DSLR, you are going to have to consider replacing it.

Take it in for a second opinion, but be aware that most repair shops will charge a minimum $30-80 to even look at it, and they still might tell you it's toast.

Answer 2

Is there finger prints on lens? Clean lens maybe
