Hi!

Would you happen to sell any particular product that could cure the following problem: On one of my zoom lenses, the rubber grip (for controlling the zoom) is quite loose (on the SMC 400-600mm reflex lens).

Is there any kind of tape or glue that I could safely use?

Thanks for any help or pointing me in any direction (and I apologize if you've already been asked this too often).

I use hair spray.

Hello,

I would have the lens repaired professionally. Unfortunately we do not do camera repairs. The manufacturer is always the best place to look for repair services.

Rubber cement from an office supply store. Don't use too much on it.

Thank you for all the suggestions.

My first choice (over hair spray, which I don't have, or rubber cement, which I'd worry about spreading) would be to try a repair service, so thanks, Chuck, for the two places (which I'm cutting and pasting into a file).

Pentax doesn't support older lenses. At least I never had a reply from the Pentax site about the sticky aperature blades for my 300A*f/4.
