The repair technician called me today ... He was able to fix both the A50/1.7 and the A70-210/4 Macro that I bought from Ebay auctions, within the budget I gave him. And he did a CLA on the beautiful M85/2 I bought for $60: now the focusing ring operates smoothly and with a reasonable amount of force, also within budget.
*And* he had them all ready in 4 days! Can't beat that. :-) He told me he put the 70-210 on his collimator and found that the focus shift from min to max zoom setting is zero. Surprised him, they almost always shift a little bit. He liked this lens a lot ... Said the construction was second to none, in his experience. I'm happy...
