Thanks for the help. If you read my question more closely you may have picked up the "one of my beercans" part. I was hoping someone new might have some recommendations about a repair shop. C.W.

Where is a place in the US that could work on one of my beercans with a stuck aperture? Please don't suggest I do it myself. My attempts at these kind of things always end in disaster. C. W.

I use the beercan a lot, my 50 1.7 and believe it or not the old kit lens comes in handy sometimes. A few days ago I gave the 24-85 a good workout and will sometimes use my Sigma 24 2.8.

I live in Florence, Ms. just south of Jackson. We have one camera shop in this area and they won't work on any product that they don't carry. They sell Canon, Nikon, olympus, and Pentax. There are no other place locally and perhaps not in the whole state of Mississippi. I did call KEH and they quote...

Where can I get this lens repaired in the USA? Please don't suggest that I should do it myself since I am a total loser at fixing almost anything and don't own the tools for this kind of work. My local camera store either can't or won't work on it since they sell every make of DSLR except Sony. What...

Thanks for the welcome. I am just south of Jackson, Ms. the state capital. New Orleans is quite close less than 3 hours drive. The old river towns of Vicksburg and Natchez are really photo heaven for this area. The Mississippi delta is also a place for photography. Beautiful sunsets, tremendous weal...

I,m glad to find this forum. I look forward to reading others views about photographic skills and advice on equipment. C. W.
