On the other hand you might want to ask Mark Cassio, (I hope I got
your name right Mark). He had parts custom made to repair his A*200
4.0 IIRC.
Close - Cassino, not Cassio... But what's one letter?
Yep - Eric determined that my A* 200 f4 was just plain worn out and we
worked out a deal where he had the needed parts fabricated and
successfully repaired the lens. Unfortunatley, the repair only lasted
one season and a year later it was not stopping down correctly. I
probably should have sent it to Eric to see if just needed adjustment,
but a mint copy of the lens came up for sale so I shelled out a lot more
to get a replacement A* 200. I probably broke the used market for that
lens since everyone who wants to sell one these days is listing it at
the overly inflated price that I paid. But for me, for a mint, never
used A*200 it was an acceptable deal. I paid less than what a Nikon
D7000, 200mm micro nikkor, flash and cables would have cost. I still
have my old A* 200 macro - it seems to work fine manually stopped down
and some day I hope to use it with the Q.
Mark
