Camera: Pentax MX
Lens: 50mm 1.7 Pentax-M SMC
Problem:
Since last time I used it weeks ago it now will only focus from o.45 meters to only about 2 meters (6 ft). Seems like something is keeping the threads from rotating at that point. Last use I protected the lens but camera may have been exposed to minute blowing sand at a marina.
Any instructions on how to disassemble lens to clean the possible grain of sand obstruction from the threads?
Thanks for ANY help!
