Sounds more like a cautionary tale, as the lens came out all right in the end.
And think of all the entertainment - and the learning experience!

G'day Zuiks,
<snip>I like a challenge. Not. Got the wretched thing back together again but
focussing jammed up solid. Dismantle and reassemble. Now some parts have
'picked up' and the aperture ring detent ball missing. All bits carefully
wrapped, put in chocolate box and taken to Whilton's in Sydney CBD. They
initially didn't want to know but four weeks later I got it back all
pristine again. Good people to deal with, they can manage impassive looks
while you just know they're thinking, "You silly bu**er!".

I've learnt a lot about lens construction. But maybe next time I'll leave it
to the experts...
