[QUOTE="clarnibass, post: 95983, member: 9831"] Hi A friend of mine has a 17-50 Tamron lens that isn't working. The zoom is stuck and doesn't move at all. He doesn't want to give to a store to repair but since I repair musical instruments and have a lot of tools etc. he thought to let me try it. I'm definitely not an expert with electronics but mechanical things are usually not a problem. However, I've never repaired a lens before. Does anyone know about an online "guide" or drawing that can help with disassembling the lens? Or any links or other suggestions? Also, I wasn't sure which direction to start from, so I started from the back. I removed a few of the very small "horizontal" screws (lens back facing up) and moved this part a bit. Suddenly this spring in the photo came out. I didn't even see this spring before but it was out of the lens and I barely did anything. Any idea where it belongs (sorry about the photo, I just hand held it at 1/15)? Thank you for any help [/QUOTE]
