Default Repair lens

A couple of plastic flanges that lock a lens into the camera body
broke off my Sigma 100-300 lens. Is it possible to replace the plastic
part that these flanges on?

Thanks
Mike

Certainly, any camera operation should be able to. Of course, there
is probably some plastic technology today that would withstand mounting
a lens on a camera with suitable precision and durability to make it
work, but I think it would cost much more than the price of the Sigma
lens. For now, I will stick with metal mounts.. ie my Nikon lenses....
