If you get that from friends, what do you get from your enemies ?

With friends like mine I don't need enemas.

The lens has a knob on it to keep the lens from rotating in the tripod 
mount collar. One of the screws holding that knob on is broken, so the 
lens can't be locked down from rotating.  If I could get the collar off, 
it would be trivial to replace that screw.


Is there anyplace in the bay area that people would recommend for doing 
that job?  I know one camera repair place on Bascom in San Jose.  While 
I'm at it, would it be worth investing in a CLA of the lens?

When it comes to hand me downs, I could do a lot worse than John's
