Hi Ann,
That was very kind of you to offer. But, there's a chance it may not
be necessary. I've been manipulating the focusing ring, and have
tried it out on the camera, and it still seems capable of achieving
focus. It's loosened up on the short end and is operating smoothly up
until about 6', where the movement seems to tighten up just a tad.
I'll need to do more testing with it, but for now, it just seems to
have a little extra friction at the long end.
Wish me luck, though. I was absolutely crestfallen to think it was
ruined. I'd already fallen in love with the lens before I'd even set
up a "real" shot with it.
Again, I do appreciate the gesture, and I thank you. But, I may just
be lucky this time.

Good to hear... hope you are lucky - my funky one will be here in an
emergency :-)

Boy, I know that feeling!
Walter, I have a cosmetically terrible but perfectly functional f
1.4 M... I use it for a loupe but I can always use my prettier one...
If you want. I'll lend you crappy one until you can manage to replace
or repair... Write me off list.
All I'd ask is that you pay the postage for me to get it to you ...

A life lesson that all photographers must complete. Be thankful you
did it with a $50 lens rather than a $1000 lens. Security of your
equipment is job number one.

My cat just knocked it and my K-x off the top of a dresser, onto
the floor. Fortunately, the camera still seems to be working.
But now, the focusing ring on the lens sticks at the far and near
end.
Goddammit.
