TL;DR / Will you help me buy a new lens so I could continue shooting awesome landscapes? I will choose the 3 most powerful upvoters and mail them a high quality photo print.

I had the D7000 and 18-105 lens for 5 years now, and I'm not planning to upgrading any time soon. I don't need the touchscreen and the 50 megapix and 9999 auto focus points. The body is still like brand new with only 30.000 shutter clicks but the lens autofocus system stopped working a few weeks ago out of his own.
I've tried opening up and see if I can find something but I didn't. The damn autofocus motor is just too deep inside and I didn't want to risk. I've talked to sales asking for help, but here service support is non-existent, I should sent it to Serbia or Greece to have it fixed - too expensive to ship and fix.
