Last post from Chris at SRS was 'low stock', not 'sold out'.

There might be a button on the focus ring that when pressed allows you to turn the focus ring past the normal end stop. Similar idea to setting an aperture ring to 'A'.

OR, being a 'trombone' zoom, try pushing/pulling the zoom and see if it reveals a macro range.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
The only filter in use is a UV filter mainly for front element protection

Dave
Try it without the filter. If it then works ok, join the debate over whether or not a filter is the best way to protect the front lens element!

Might be able to help. I'll have a search later today. If it's the one I'm thinking of it's new and unused.

Where are you in the world?

The yellow colouration went in 24 hours apparently.

Make sure none of your photos can be seen in the US State of Arkansas or risk jail.

Saw a recommendation for this Ikea lamp in another forum>http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/00169635/

Seems it had been used very successfully to get rid of the yellow colouration found in some Tak lenses; the lamp was left shining through the lens for 24 hours.

It was stated that this was due to the amount of UV given out by the lamp and therefore it should be equally good killing lens fungus.

I pass this on out of interest. I don't have any Taks or fungus!
