Sadly I don't know of anything like that, probably something got bent very slightly out of alignment inside the lens. If it's built anything like the F 70-210 there are a lot of candidates. If it doesn't require replacement parts, Eric Hendrickson can probably set it to right for about $50 plus shipping, needless to say you're probably better off finding a replacement at KEH.com. They currently have three in stock, starting at the outrageous sum of #27.00 plus shipping. Throwing it away isn't necessary, it would make a lovely paperweight.

My F80-200 zoom took a short (1 foot) tumble to a hard floor.

(It's this one: http://kmp.bdimitrov.de/lenses/zooms/long/F80-200f4.7-5.6.html)

Now... it will only focus out to infinity if I'm zoomed to 100mm or less.  An 
80-100mm zoom isn't very useful.

Is there... is there anything SIMPLE that might fix this?  A simple "remove rubber 
ring, loosen some sorta screw to adjust infinity focus and be on my way" kind of fix?

I only paid $35 for this 6 years ago, but I don't want to throw it away if I 
don't have to.
