Actually I just need one piece of lense glass. When i took the lense apart
I didn't see any ball bearings....I just twisted out the glass pieces and
that's it...didn't touch anything else..so I don't see any bearings or
focus mechanisms....I really like this lense and I've taken it to a few
stores and they just smile at me. I guess they are just too friking lazy to
open it up and fix the darn thing! Well any one u guys know will be willing
to fix it for me?
