On a different tangent. Got out my FA*600/f4 today and found what looks like a bunch of metal shavings inside. They seem to be in an area between some lens elements, not in the Diaphragm area nor the AF area. The AF works perfectly, no grinding or stickiness, there is nothing there.
They seem to be in the area where the lens flares out, if you look at the diagram, they are not just behinds the front element, but in the area after that, doesn't seem to be anything moving in there and it looks sealed from the rest of the lens, the shavings are loosely and freely moving about in there.
Anyone seen this kind of thing.
Looking around to see if there are any Lens repair places in Brisbane, or wondering if I just contact CRK and maybe have it sent to Japan. Freaking out a little..
