The damaged ring is the locking ring, it can be seen on Clarky's photo LINK

Check the rear element locking ring. I bought a 28mm off ebay and it rattled, turned out the locking ring had unscrewed slightly allowing the rear element to rattle.

I think this thread is going to get very interesting.

I have had two requests for the use of my photographs in the past. I gave my permission to use them free of charge in both cases. I received a copy of the book in one case and the other I attended the launch and was able to photograph Dr David Jenkins a former Bishop of Durham. LINK.

I have had no regrets not asking for payment in either case.

One of biggest thrills I have had was last summer when my youngest grand son's teacher gave me a card and a small gift at the end of term for photographs I had supplied during the term.

There again I am a simple person who is easily pleased.

Durham town hall uses a rod system similar to this LINK
They have the self locking hooks and the framed prints are a doddle to set up. Here is pic of a current exhibition LINK
I have set up an exhibition with cable hangers and it was hard work.
