But getting someone else of dubious or at least unproven competence to do it is not necessarily the panacea you seek.

So that rules out 99.9% of the "box shifting" stores then

No, after donning my rubber safety trousers, I kept my eyes firmly shut and fingers tightly crossed

We bought the our grandson "100 things to do with a dead cat" book for his birthday, they have 3 cats at the moment could be interesting

I'm sure I've read that book. You can use a dead cat as a first class paint roller.

Disregard the above, I didn't immediately realise that a CPL has a rotating part.

Thanks for looking anyway. I think I'll just have to keep turning it until I "break it in" or break it

This is a cracking little lens actually. I got one as part of a bundle I bought but won't bother to sell it because of the low prices it fetches. Jim should enjoy his.

This link shows how to repair (with a lot of luck) this item

Enough of this photography talk! Anyone would think it was a photography forum

In the spirit of getting away from the topic of photography, an anecdote from my past:

When I was a lot younger people would ask my mum if I was working, to which she would reply, "No, he's on the trawlers".

I think there's a 28mm f2 which does justify a hefty price, as it posesses 'Zeiss DNA'. Perhaps the sellers of 35mm f2 lenses see the price of those and mark their prices up accordingly, or maybe even hope a purchaser gets confused?

What is Zeiss DNA ? does it mean you can clone your own lenses from a few stem cells.
