Theres a fella, based in Greystones, who posts on boards.ie who regularly fixes cameras and lens for people.
If its ok to post a link (please remove if not permitted) , have a look here and post a message with details of the lens and problem. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056360566
If link not allowed go to the Photography forum and sub forum The Workshop and check out the sticky/thread “The Hamster Clinic”.
(PS I’ve no link to the person apart from having had a lens fixed by him at a reasonable price)
Sorry for hijacking your thread but I havent posted anything in an age so didnt want to start a new one!
