[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 809904, member: 50197"] Mine won't focus in either. I wouldn't mind it too bad if it still worked in manual focus. I do the vast majority of my macro in MF. Big difference between robust automotive parts and the small, thin plastic pieces in this lens. I thought about a screw, plastic block and epoxy, but judging by the thickness of the two barrels I saw in the video, I have doubts it would hold. A handful of judicious dollops of epoxy between the two barrels, should keep them together for the foreseeable future. Another issue I have to consider is the alignment of the two barrels. Don't know if that is critical or not. I suspect, not, but wouldn't bet the farm on it. Bottom line is that I likely have little to lose by trying. The siren call of the Z mount 105 doesn't help things. [/QUOTE]
