Hi! J> As some of you may have read, I broke my FA*400/5.6 a couple of weeks ago, J> and the light meter on MZ-S went wonky in multi-segment mode.
J> When I got home, I also noticed that my FA50/1.4 had accumulated some bright J> white specs of dust inside, and needed cleaning. So I turned it in with the J> two other items and included the *istD for cleaning as well. J> To take the latter first, it took the repairman less than an hour to clean J> the 50mm and the *istD to brilliance. J> The MZ-S also had an "easy fix", to my surprise. Apparently, the metering J> sensor had come loose and moved out of position. Part of the sensor was J> obscured, and caused readings about 5 stops off the actual value. He J> promised me it was now securely attached. J> The lens will also be revived. None of the optical elements were damaged, J> but the entire lens tube was bent as I suspected. However, the price of J> replacing the tube is considerably less than buying a new one. J> On a sidenote, I also made my first sale of an enlargement from the GFM trip J> today. J> So all is well that ends well I suppose...:-) Jostein, these are excellent news <wink>... Boris ([EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED])
