I dropped my camera from a couple of feet with my 31mm1.8Ltd on it a couple of years back. (ugh). It bent the petal in the front enough to show up in my K-5's pics as a slight darkening. So I sent it off to precision camera and they "fixed" it, but now its exhibiting something else. Sometimes it will not autofocus past about 5ft or so (aprox), and if I try to do it manually, it has what feels like something stopping it going past that point. But if you move the lens around, usually vertically, you can hear something loose in there and then it "fixes" itself. How hard is it to take one of these apart and take care of whatever is rattling in there? I don't want to send it back to precision as its a $300 round trip or so, and they won't answer my emails about taking care of this since I suspect this has been there all along since the last repair, but I never noticed it because I don't use this lens enough.
