Hi
I had the same problem with mine a couple of years back. I used these guys http://www.asahiphoto.co.uk/repairs.htm - they were the only ones I found.
They did a good job but it wasn't cheap compared to the value of the lens - if I remember correctly I think they charged £60
Good luck
Carl

No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more

I used A.M. Technical services to unstick the diaghram blades on an old Kiron lens. Service was prompt & cost good, £30.00,inc.
I would use him again.

I used AM Technical to service three lenses at 30 quid each. Very good service. K.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I have a Pentax SMC FA 50mm 1.4 lens that I use all the time for portraits. Recently it started jamming on the focus and there was a rattle when I shook it. I removed the back of it and a single ball bearing and a tiny screw fell out. I put it back together but it still sticks.
I really need to use it on the 6th Nov and so I would like to get it fixed before then, does anyone have any idea where I can send it? I would appreciate cheaper options if possible as I'm skint
Thanks.
