Hi
I got my DS yesterday (Zawee is it ever cool) and I'm noticing that my K200mm F2.5 seems to have some kind of a problem. Most (but not all) of the photos taken with it have an absurd amount of pink CA (and putting a TC on it makes it much worse). When I look at the red channel in PS it looks just like it was taken with a soft focus lens. The other channels look fine. What could be causing this? Sometimes, when I gently shake the lens, it sounds like there is a slightly loose element that is rattling back and forth. Is it possible that that is the cause of this malfunction? Do you think it would be a dumb idea for me to try taking it apart and seeing if I can snug that element in somehow? (In the last few days it also hasn't been focusing all the way to infinity so I'm going to have to investigate that to.)

I would be more than grateful for any clues about this.

Thanks for reading,
Francis
