Seriously , someone outthere who is willing/able to help out a ,by now ,Impoverished fellow photog.

Sigh..


That lens was it on UK you purchased?
I was looking for 14-24mm f2.8AFS so I could use on my Z7 with ZFX adapter and saw a similar lens that was jammed at 16mm. I think this lens is susceptible to physical damage as it is heavy awkward to change rapidly.
I eventually found one in good condition optically that was also ok cosmetically but not like new!
