Well, for what it's worth, I've taken two Viv S1 lenses to Athena Photo
here in Calgary, and have no problems with them as repair people. First one
(90 macro) I got from eBay felt as if it was not quite assembled properly,
so they tightened it up; second one (200/3) I dropped, the focus was then
tight in one spot, they did their best but apparently you can't get the
replacement parts any more; now it works fine but feels a bit strange.
