Who doesn't give back negatives?

This is becoming a thing with places that mail out the film to processed. They take your film, develop and scan it then email you a link to the scanned images. Saves shipping back I suppose.

I have a 28mm f/2.8 AI-S lens that has a very stiff focus ring, is there an easy way to loosen it or should I just work on getting stronger fingers?

It happens. I have a Micro Nikkor 55/2.8 that's really, really stiff. Must be something about the grease they used, it's nearly as bad as some of the Agfa green glue grease. I think the Micro Nikkor must be particularly bad because of its long helicoid, I can barely turn it and I'm honestly afraid of snapping the lens mount apart.

Well my 28 isn't that bad, but it's definitely not as easy as my other AI lenses.

My aunt gave me my uncle's old F4S (which is pretty awesome) and a couple lenses. The only noteworthy one is a 20mm f/2.8 AF-D, but the aperture is stuck open. The ring turns freely and the little lever that something inside the body actuates for AE modes goes back and forth fine. Where would be the best place to send it for repair? I was thinking KEH.
