If someone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. I received my Leica R 50/1.4 that was adapted for my Sony a900. I sent the lens to Leitax in Spain for the adaptation because I am not mechanically inclined. David at Leitax also put the chip (from China) on the lens for me so I could use all of the camera's modes.
When I mounted the lens onto the body I noticed that the focus ring was very tight, especially about midway between close up and infinity. Thinking that the lens was older and had been sitting a bit, I gently turned the focusing ring back and forth, from close up to infinity and back, several times. Well, on the last turn, it loosened up, and yup, you guessed it, the lens no longer focuses. The focus stops at the closest focal point and at infinity, so the focus ring does not spin like a top.
Is there anyone out there that can help me get this lens to the right repairperson? Is there anyone out there who can tell me what happened to the lens, in laymans' terms, other than "you broke the lens!"? Can this lens be repaired?
Ideally I would like the lens fixed with the adapter on it, but if I can't I will settle for the lens being repaired properly.
