I understand, but I really don't feel confident about doing the work myself. I'll keep this information in mind though. Thanks for the advice.

Not sure if anyone is still interested in my broken lens, but here's an update.

So as suggested by jpzk, I sent it into Service Caméra Pro in Quebec City. The owner is a very nice guy. It turns out that there's a broken gear in the AF mechanism and he can't find any replacement parts for it. So the only option is to take out the gear so that it still functions manually. I'm glad that at least he is very reasonably priced. He's only charging me $60 + tax and shipping.

I am pretty gutted about the lens though. Welp, maybe I'll mount it onto one of my film bodies and pretend I'm young again.

Thanks aslyfox, that's super useful. I appreciate it and I'll follow those leads!

Indeed. I think I could do it as a last resort, but I'd much rather leave it up to a professional.

I was taking photos with my FA 31mm the other night and the autofocus sent it all the way to minimum and it locked up. The manual focus ring can only move a small bit in either direction and the screw on the mount will turn with some resistance.

I don't want to have to try to take it apart myself seeing as how expensive this lens is, but I'm in Canada and Sun Camera just got back to me saying they won't fix it.

Any advice on how I can reasonably fix it myself or somewhere I can send it to? I would put my technical skills at moderate, but doing this myself makes me nervous.

I'm really gutted about this. Any help is much appreciated.
