[QUOTE="D200freak, post: 518429, member: 41018"] You saw that I replied to your request, obviously. Repairing your lens will be a fun little project for you. Buy a good microfiber cloth. It's easy to keep the internal optics clean and dust free if you use a microfiber as needed during the reassembly process. Now as for that 14-24mm lens I was working on...I was right, the flexible circuit from a 24-70mm lens (the "GOOD ONE") is fully compatible. I just had to trim off some excess material that wasn't even part of the circuit. The lens is fixed. It works properly. The zoom is SLIGHTLY stiff but that isn't a concern for me. In fact, I like the fact that it doesn't "gravity zoom" when letting the camera hang from the strap, lens down. Although the zoom is stiff, it's smooth, which is more important. [/QUOTE]
