The Zoom ring is stuck between 24 mm and aprox 40 mm.
What can I do to fix this?
Any hints would be appreciated.

This sounds very interesting! Could you please provide detailed information on how to open the lens and what to do to fix the problem?
Is it possible to get pictures showing what to do, e.g. link to a web site?

It will require taking the lens apart. Are you comfortable working with small tools?

There is nothing I could find for web based diagrams. The lens comes apart from the rear. The contacts have two screws holding them to the mount ring. You must free them up first before removing the mount.

It gets tricky after that. The mount has a long arm attached on the back side that extents into the lens to the aperture. It is slotted and hooks to a brass pin on the side of the aperture assembly. There is also a ground wire attached to the mount as well.

Do you wish to get into this?
