Hi all
My FA 50mm 1.4 is suddenly acting up — the turning of the focus blocks at about the 3 metre point.
I can turn it past my hand then it moves normally for the rest of the way till infinity is reached.
If I turn the lens around at certain angles (basically upside down) the blocking doesn't happen.
So something seems to be falling in the way and when gravity is pulling in a different direction, it doesn't get in the way.
Problem: I like the lens and would like to fix it, buuuuuut obviously if the cost of repair is too high it makes no sense and maybe I should buy another one if I can find an ok price.
I would prefer to repair and keep my lens, so how and where could I do that for a reasonable price?
I live in Brussels, Belgium and i suppose can ship the lens a reasonable distance, basically till shipping costs make the repair uneconomical.
Any suggestions?
Any help would be sincerely appreciated
Ian
