My Vivitar S1 70-210mm f2.8~4.0, the third version with the A contacts
took a fall of about 2 1/2 feet to a concrete floor. Everything seems to
be all right except the aperture lever is binding just ever so much
which is keeping it from stopping down normally. I took it apart, as
much as I felt comfortable doing, while still thinking I'd get it back
together, and was unable to discover where the lever is binding, though
it's just enough to keep it from moving freely through part of it's
travel. Even at that I managed to lose one small screw.
Any new Pentax equipment I'd send to C.R.I.S. Older stuff I'd send to
Pentaxs.com, but I've never damaged an older non Pentax lens I thought
was worth having repaired, so I'm at a loss.
Any suggestions would be welcome, preferably within the continental
U.S., but Canada probably isn't out of the question. Though I'm not
sure what kind of hoops I'll have to jump through to get a used lens for
repair through customs.
