A bit literal:
(ニコンのレンズを持っています。問題がありましたが、修理しました。今はすごいです。)


A More Natural Expression
While this translation is technically correct, it
might sound a bit stiff in natural conversation. To make it sound more
natural, you could try something like this:

Nikon no lens ga atte ne, komatta koto ga atta nda kedo,
直したらめっちゃいい感じになったよ！

(ニコンのレンズがあってね、困ったことがあったんだけど、直したらめっちゃいい感じになったよ！)


私のニコンのレンズ、困ったことがあったんだけど、 修理したら
めっちゃ いい感じになったよ！

could I please have the furigana for the last sentence? (after atta nda
kedo).　お願いします！

I don't know if this is any help but Nikon used to be called Nippon
Kokaku. That's my guess at a almost phonetic spelling. I sure that a
proper pronunciation of that attempt was there name about 45 or 50 years
ago.

As should be obvious from the above "weasel" wording, I don't know
Japanese either orally or lexically; But my interest in photography at
that time made me aware of many miscellaneous, isolated facts.

I got a Nikon camera. I love to take a photograph. So
mama, don't take my Kodachrome away. [Verse 2] If you took all the
girls I knew when I was single. And brought them all together for
night!!! ...

Nikon began as Nippon Kogaku K.K. (Japan Optical
Industries Co., Ltd.) on July 25, 1917, at 120 Haramachi, Koishikawa-ku
(present-day Hakusan 4-chome, Bunkyo-ku) in Tokyo, starting domestic
production of optical instruments such as rangefinders and microscopes.
