Hi everyone. I am having an issue with this lens. It has been either dropped down or the focus part has been rotated overhead. I disassembled the lens to see what is going on and I saw that long gears which I think are to blame because they don't do anything. Is this normal? That big "ring" seems really jammed. I think it should rotate with that gear right? What can I do? Thanks,
OMG! You've got more guts than me, that's for sure! I can't help you out here but I just had to chime in...lol,
Haha. Well I like to look into stuff, break it and remake it . And if I end up with spare screws, heck, I might make another lens too.
I have a version of that lens but I have no idea what it looks like on the inside. And I have no intention of finding out. I wish you well in your attempt to repair it. You might get some help here: https://www.google.com.au/search?so.......1..gws-wiz.....6..35i39j0i131.Hz52ayYDX58
What was the actual focus issue? I have read some users of the lens that said the auto focus stopped working and by switching back and forth between Auto/manual or by gently pulling the focus ring they got them to work again. This is a fairly cheap plastic lens so it is not hard to imagine that something could have worn out or got broken. I wish you luck on taking it apart and fixing it, I would not have been so brave.
