Do you have the name of the shop that repaired your lens? I'm just an hour away from Vancouver so it might be worth it to give them a shout. Otherwise I'll probably just save my pennies for a 55 1.4...
Thanks for the replies. I figured I was outta luck when it came to a quick fix, but it was worth a shot.

I've got an older FA 50mm 1.4 that is starting to develop a 'sticky' focus ring. Every once and awhile the focus will lock up, and the focus motor can't drive the ring. Seems to happen near the end of the throw (fully CCW). I'll fix it by putting the camera into manual focus and rotating the ring myself past the spot, then putting the camera back to auto.
For sure it's an older lens and I could probably find an inexpensive replacement, but I thought I throw it out here to see if anyone has some thoughts on a quick-ish fix. Are they any suggestions of treatment without pulling the thing apart to clean it? Any success with contact cleaner (or similar solutions) that I can work into the lens from the outside? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

My little guy rocking the same GT Snowracer that I had as a kid - although he probably has more style than I ever did.

Thanks for the store suggestions; I will definitely check them out when I get the chance. You guys are the friendliest online community I think I've ever come across :).

Sounds great! Where do you shop for gear? I find that London Drugs has a decent prices (sometimes) with their limited selection, but it would be great to know of some smaller, specialized shops...
My modest photo collection is linked in my sig; any feedback is welcome :).

Hello all. I have recently re-discovered my love of photography and so I thought I'd join up here to learn and develop my technique. I've got a little K-r with the kit 18-55, DAL 35 2.4, M 50 1.7 and a Tamron 70-300. My grandfather was an avid Pentaxian and got me interested years ago; now that I've got a family of my own (and a little extra cash...) I am building my gear collection and trying to take pictures of whatever I can, wherever I can. Cheers!
