Im wondering if theres something i can do myself or if I take it in to get it fixed. The lense was out and facing downward on concrete and i stepped on it. (Yeah I know Im a tard) Well anyways the only thing that happened was one side of the lense got push back in all crooked. Any advise.
Oh and P.S
No my warranty doesnt cover me being dumb and stepping on it lol.

Here's some things that you can do to try to correct it (know it says for Canon, but these also work with stuck lenses on other cameras). Have already fixed several cameras with crooked lenses by using these methods:

Note method # 4 is most probably applicable to your case.

did you step on it real hard or just a little bit? there might be some way to fix it, but I think most people would say that you can't. If you want to salvage it, you could sell it on ebay. Sometimes camera guys will buy it based on what kind o f camera it is. Just take lots of pictures of it, especially where it's broken since it's camera technicians that could repair it. No guarantee though.

Camera repair isn't a "do it yourself" project. Use the one you stepped on as a paperweight and begin shopping for its replacement since repair (at your expense) will cost as much or more than a new one.

Unfortunately, you can't fix cameras yourself. It might cost a lot to get it repaired, so replacing it might be your best option. I hope it wasn't too new.

You can fix it yourself.
You'll need:
- a trowel
- a laser level
- a 10kg bag of levl-crete
- some 2X4's
Oh wait...that's straightening a floor...
