I was afraid so... :-(

Yeah, that would be real bad. On the other hand, if the floating element
keeps at the 'infinite' position, basically I'd have a classic lens without
close-range correction...
Now, the million dollar question is: in which position is the floating
element stuck? I can't find a way to reinstall the part... without locking
the whole lens again.
Anyway... I own a much better 28/2 now... f1.9 to be precise... ;^) ;^)
Cheers,
