300mm plus Lens Club: discuss your long lenses

I don’t see why there could not be such a club. The lens deserves it.

I dropped my DA* 300mm f4 recently on a hiking trip. The focus got stuck and it wouldn’t focus in either manual or autofocus mode. Somehow it fixed itself when I disassembled it this far.
It works again.
(Disassemble your own, at your own risk:)

Has anyone taken the baffle off the back, and then tried it for FF? I’ve seen that done for a few other lenses to make DA lenses FF with good success. It’s a pretty easy procedure. Of course it voids the warrantee...

Thank you guys! That helped.
The second deeper set of 4 screws on top of the zoom helicoid and set in pairs. As far as I can tell all 4 of same thickness, but I don’t have a micrometer at hand to know for sure. Seems to work now and looks sharp.

I dropped my favorite lens.
Managed to fix the plastic zoom pin that was broken and reassembled everything, almost. I’m stumped by these little metal bits. When I disassembled they fell out from under aperature control plate.
What do they do? Where do they belong? How do i put them there?

was out and about for the harvest moonrise, but this post sunset view of the Notre Dame grasped my attention. Handheld, and some post playing with graduated filters.
