I've found three repair shops that work with Laowa lenses, locally, but haven't phoned or otherwise contacted any of them yet. I have a nagging suspicion that an AF lens from Laowa might give them more problems than an MF, stone age unit that might have a misaligned element or stuck helicoid at worst, while this issue I'm having is clearly electronic.

Unfortunately I'm very short on time this week, so I might not even find a spare day to get this sorted out until uh, the first days of June at worst.
Maybe I'll dust off the Sigma 14mm in the interim.
