Hi,
Having a little lens trouble. Got a few of my lens's wet and now having some trouble (not surprising I guess). My aperture blades are sluggish now and it would be great to fix those....
But my main question is about the lens contacts. I was not getting good communication between the camera and the lens. I opened it up to see what might be happening. And unfortunately there is some rust/corrosion on the gold spring contacts in the lens. I tried to clean them but it wasn't totally successful. One of the contact springs broke (they are quite fragile). I cleaned them with a water/vinegar mixture. Was that a bad idea?
Basically I wanted to see if anyone knows where we can buy some additional gold spring contacts for a Pentax SMC DA lens? I think if I could put in a new spring the lens might be back in action (except for the slow aperture blades I guess).
thanks much!
-Peter
