Get them to fix it while they fix the front element of your lens. My

These aren't reduced image circle lenses, so they are also useable on
Pentax film cameras. Since the MZ-S doesn't have body control of
aperture it makes sense to put an aperture ring back onto the lens.
I don't think that this changes any of Pentax's plans though.
