Hello there,
I have a little problem. I'm in love with my 50f1.2, brand new lens bought few months ago. Well... this weekend I covered some artists on stage, very close to the beach. I do not know if its linked or not BUT I do have some problem with the focusing ring. To be precise, there is no hard point but it seems that a little sand grain went into the lens on the path of the focusing ring thus led a sort of crrrrrrrrrrr very smooth but there. You now know why I am extremely frustrated.
Above my frustration, as a NPS member, come an another coat of sadness (what a cake) because NPS told me that they will charge me around 190 Euros for dismounting and cleaning.
So, here is my plan:
I come here in total humility to ask some kind and clever souls to find me the blueprint to dismount my precious 50mm f/1.2 Nikkor.
May the Force be with you, live long and prosper.
H
