Hi!
In short: Can someone please, please tell me where I can send my 80-320 for repair in London, England and in Paris, France?
The long story: I got my 80-320 in eBay along with an FA 35-80. The 35-80 is actually in a quite nice condition, but the 80-320 has two problems:
1. The zoom ring is VERY tight. I mean, I can't zoom the lens without shaking my *ist DS like a stick... and at 320mm that's just a nightmare. What's weird, I always thought these lens had a creeping, loose zoom... 2. It simply doesn't work in the "A" setting! My DS seems to think it is a manual, non-A lens, although it's autofocus works wonders. The diafragm blades click nicely and smoothly, and it seems to lock into the "A" setting, but the camera says no-no... there's no oil on the blades and besides these to problems, the lens seems in a very good condition!
I'm going to Paris in the next couple of weeks; I was hoping some of you could help me in finding a good repair shop in Paris so that I can leave the lens there during my stay.
Thanks in advance! -- Oscar Sarabando
