Unfortunately, My SP 2005 got a problem.
I didn't do anything on my SP, but problem has occured without anyreason. I couldn't find SP's picture, So attached S2's.

When I'm focusing infinite to 0.9m(shortest range), the marked part stop smoothly at 2.5~1m then never return to shortest positon by itself. I should use my fingers to move it to proper position.

A happy feature of misfortune, infinite to 2.5m is OK. I guess some parts like a spring or something loose their tension. (I'm not sure)

Are there any solutions for this problem?

Ofcourse I tried to test the pinch roller coupler with external and internal mount lenses, EVEN it shows the same problem without lenses.

Please see bellow pictures, it could be helpful for understanding this situation.

Coupler stopped on an unproper position. :(

Appreciate for your advices, I'd better send mine to Nikon for A/S.
I bought this one from Fujiya camera about 3 weeks ago including warranty certificate. it would be possible to repair because I'm a first owner.

By the way, I read that one of the other SP2005 had shutter speed problem.
Don't you think some of reissue SPs are released in unstable condition?
