Hello,
I have a 70-200 F4 L Lens which I have removed the front sections to clean and everything is almost perfect however there is a tiny amount of excess pressure when turning the focus ring now, specifically at 1.5m.
I'm quite sure that anyone who repairs these lenses often would easily know what the issue is, I don't believe it to be a major issue, just something simple.
I have checked and I cannot see any debris and I've been rather careful with everything. After a little testing I believe it could be related to the element near the front which moves up and down when focusing because when that is not inserted the focus is nice and smooth. It is when I insert that element with the 3 screws the issues occurs, perhaps it is related to the part which protrudes and inserts into the metal clip to allow movement of the element.
Anyhow, any help would be much appreciated.
