Something similar happened with my Sakar 135mm f2.5 macro lens.
I might be able to repair it but I'm still using it from time to time.
It is a big hunk of glass and seems to perform well when I use it with
no filters and a tripod.
I am thinking of substituting the broken part with one from an extra
extension tube.
