[QUOTE="D200freak, post: 512313, member: 41018"] I'll post some pics later today. I have plenty to post as I photo documented the disassembly process, screw by stinking screw. nodevice.com has many Nikon lens service manuals available. I've bought five manuals and parts lists and gotten what I expected to get in each instance. They're reliable. On the 14-24 lens, the primary problem with it is that the outer main tube has been badly buggered by someone else who attempted to "repair" it by dremelling out the broken screws that sheared off when the lens was originallly dropped. Those screws are part of the focus assembly. It also has a cut flex circuit, and I couldn't get a matching replacement for it but I have ordered the equivalent circuit for a 24-70mm lens which is the same circuit only the flex is longer and it has a different overall shape to it. But contact for contact, the layout is the same so it should be usable. [/QUOTE]
