have you tried these Professional Camera, Lens and Lighting Repairs
Yes, Fixation won't take it. Not sure if its the age or the size of the lens with them, but when you put the details into their repair request form it says they can't do it.
Hi Clive
Already tried them and it was Wes who replied to me in fact. The reply was no can do I'm afraid! I've tried various places that I've found on Google, I've found a couple of places who said they will take a look but can't promise anything, unfortunately not that close (one in Cambridge and one in Northampton). I just wondered if anyone may know someone who does this sort of thing as a sideline and maybe wouldn't come up on a Google search. There's a guy in Shepperton who I've used in the past but he's just retired.
Yes that's the problem, none of the main repairers are interested because they know they won't be able to get spares. But the spares must be out there somewhere I would think, it's just whether I can find anyone willing to give it a go. I might end up selling it for spares on ebay and putting the money towards another lens but that will probably be expensive.
