I have a Pentax-A 35mm 2.8 lens...
The glass is nice and clean... No fungus... Aperture is snappy... But it won't focus... At all...
Feels like the focus ring is un-connected... Loose.. Slack... Not right...
Thinking Harrow Technical are my best bet... Hopefully won't cost more than £50 to repair...
Anybody used them on a similar repair?
Is it even worth it, or should I just bin the lens?
Is there another lens repair place I should check out?

Advance thanks
Dave

Please discuss!
I think the 'technical' term for why is 'pixie dust'

SRS will most likely replace with very little hassle... They're pretty good like that by all accounts.

To be honest... Everytime I've needed stickyback-velcro (which isn't often) I've been able to borrow (urm... steal...) from the gallery I work at...

At a guess... Wilkinson's perhaps... Maybe a local craft or DIY store... I dunno...

I didn't know there was a blue can!!
We regularly use 'Red Can' in the Gallery in prep for hangings... (That sounds awful...)
