Yes, sorry for my 'senior moment'. The the focusing ring
grip, that's it. Well it unglued and stretched badly -not like the focusing
ring grip of my 200/4 which unglued but stretched moderately- and got
plasticky. I assumed it was due to a generous amount af alcohol (rubbing),
perhaps not. I've avoided alcohol for this use since then...
Thanks a lot.
Fernando.
