Zerohamster on here does lens repairs. I bought a repaired lens from him on Adverts and I've seen a thread where he's repaired a lens for another boardsie. I'm sure he could help you out.

I had to get my Sigma 10-20 repaired. I sent it to Hahnel in Cork. They were very fast & not as expensive as I feared.

See this thread
