Hello everybody,

    I had what I like to call a "Bonk" moment last night.  Where for no 
reason at all my Voigtlander 28mm F1.9 slipped out of my hands and smacked 
the floor.

Nothing seemed apparently broken until I checked the focus ring and noticed 
the extreme stiffness when rotating it.  Does anyone know what is actually 
broken?

Just trying to decide if it is worth fixing considering the price of the 
lens.  Where can I send it to get fixed? Is it worth shipping it out to DAG 
or Sherry Krauter?

 I am thinking that if it is $225 and under I will fix it, anything above 
and I will have to consider it. Any opinions or suggestions will be 
appreciated.

Thank you;

Alvaro Sendon
