I was shooting an event today, when my Super-Tak 1.4/50 fell out of my bag (i didn't even use it at all today!). I was surprised when i found that the glass was completely fine, but the focus ring gets very difficult to move between 5ft and infinity, but moves fine at any focal point before that. Also, the manual/auto switch now doesn't work properly. Auto mode functions as Manual, and the Manual mode doesn't stop down the aperture at all!
Do you have any suggestions as to where i can get my lens repaired? I'm currently looking up places in Boston and New York, but any advice you have would be much appreciated, thanks!

Thanks for such a quick response! i found out about a couple of local places in Boston, so I'm going to go visit them and see if I can get an estimate on Monday. Also, I just realized I was mistaken in my original post -- everything with the Auto/Manual switch works fine. The only problem with the lens is that it gets jammed when you try to focus to 5 ft or beyond.
