<p>Hello all, <br>

I was out hiking the AT with my trusty FA some months ago with my Sigma 28mm-84mm macro and Tokina 400mm. I had just snapped a macro shot when a crane caught my eye in the distance, so I rushed and threw on the Tokina (foolish albeit). In my rush I managed to improperly secure the lens to the mount. Everything is flush and sealed, only about 5º off axis. This mistake threw the shutter completely out of whack, which I was able to resolve after some digging around here. Now the only remaining issue is the lens appears to be completely stuck.<br>

I've been to some local repair/pro shops but they were no help (actually clueless), and Nikon told me they don't support this camera anymore. Does anyone know how I might be able to free this lens so I won't have to scrap both?</p>

<p>Best,<br>

Ari.</p>
