Robert , I am Afraid,Very Afraid that You`ve put yer finger on the Sore Spot....
When I shake the lens,there`s a " clacking " sound coming from it....that does Not abode well...funny thing is,when shaking while zooming simultanously, that zoom ring moves much easier...`tho as it is difficult to see,it seems as if the rear lens-assembly is slightly out of center..
Thank you, I really enjoyed fixing up the 20mm. I was able to put my own stamp on it.
As for your lens, it sounds like it's been dropped, possibly the camera took the impact but perhaps survived, maybe a D3? The lens was less fortunate.
I would still contact ACS and ask David his view, they do (did) have lenses which they cannibalise so may be able to do a repair without costing too much, it may only be a sheared screw? In which case it could be a relatively simple repair.
