Someone managed to drop a camera with my F70-210/4-5.6 attached. Camera and lens appear to be fine, except that the zoom is stuck at 70mm. Although the optimist in me says that I did not lose a zoom but gained a prime, I'd still like to try my hand at repairing it. This may help.

Now that we're at it: is there any way to remove the focussing ring on an F lens? There seem to be slots for a screwdriver, but I'm hesitant to use force... The FA had a different construction here. Don't know. All of the focus/zoom parts came out through the front. Micro-tools and
