It wouldn't focus and something inside would slide back and forth if you turned the lens up or down.
So I took it aparat and found that two screws with nylon bushings broke out of their guides.
The first time I was able to fix it and use epoxy to hold a part one part of the lens together and somehow put the two screws a half a thread into the holes.
The problem is that I think that anything that holds on on one or even half a thread will fail eventually and obviously it did a year later and this time I was not able to fix it anymore.
I got another one but this time new and not used, so I'm hoping it will last a couple of years longer.
Oh my god, it's my 35mm as well! You don't happen to have any pictures, do you? I bet it's the exact same problem.
How many layers deep into this guide would you say you got?

I just want to know how messy this would be to do myself.
