If it was just the metal shell, that is relatively easy, if you can see
the difference in the viewfinder then the problem is much deeper in the
lens, and may require considerable disassembly.

Hey all. I've got a K50/1.4 a few months ago that's become one of
my favorite lenses. Trouble is, the front barrel is a little bit
loose. By front barrel, I mean the forward-most piece... the one that
houses the glass, not the focus ring. It can be wiggled sideways
slightly, and it noticable in the viewfinder.
Is there anything like a loose setscrew that could cause this? I
had a Vivitar zoom I took apart due to the same problem, and found two
of three setscrews around the circumference loose, which allowed it to
wiggle sideways. I've taken apart (and reassembled sucessfully) a few
lenses already, so I'm not too worried about that... unless ignorance
is bliss? I'm not really keen on doing an exploratory on this and risk
the possibility of screwing it up or misadjusting something , only to
discover that I cannot fix the problem anyway.
Anyone had one of these apart? I've also got an M50/1.4 that has
a large piece of something in front of the rear element that I may try
to remove.
Thanks
