I am really sorry to hear this, Logan! I have had lens issues that continued even after sending them in to be fixed too. I never try to repair my own lenses, so I don’t know what to tell you. I have never used the lens you mentioned either. I guess it’s just a matter of time before everything will eventually return to the dust from which it came? :/ If you want a cheaper repair option, I would recommend https://www.royalcameras.com/
