Hello,
This is my first post on these forums and unfortunately it's due to a problem with one of my lenses.
I recently bought a working ME Super body along with a SMC Pentax-M 50mm F1.7, Vivitar 70-150mm f3.8 MC Macro focusing zoom (one touch version), Cosina 28mm f/2.8 MC and a Ricoh 300mm F4.5 XR APO Rikenon lens on eBay for £33 plus £10 postage. To make it even more of a bargain they came in an aluminium flightcase along with a selection of hoods and filters and also a squeeze-bulb remote shutter release.
At first the only problems I saw were that the lenses needed a good clean and that the battery cover was missing from the ME super. After closer inspection of the Ricoh 300mm however, I noticed that the lens had been dropped and damaged to such a degree that it no longer fits in the camera body - It goes in but isn't able to fully turn into place. I've included a link to photos of the lens below as it's much easier than trying to explain the damage.

Does anyone know what's required to fix this? Also due to the rarity of the lens I take it finding spare parts is not an option?
Thanks and Happy Holidays. :)
Keir.
