Summary: Another Nikon lens problem needing a fix.  Also Minox C problem.

The front element of my Nikon 50/1.8E seems to be loose -- there
is about 1/2mm of play when I wiggle the front of the barrel with
my fingers and the viewfinder image shifts discernably when I
do this.  Is this something I can fix reasonably easily, or should
I bring it to the Nikon depot in San Francisco?  Can they generally
fix things like this on the spot?  There are 7 months left on
the Nikon USA Club warranty.

Also I'm wondering if this is a common problem with
	a) Nikon Series E lenses
	b) cheap lenses in general, or
	c) all lenses?

Hey, while I'm at it, my Minox C suddenly won't close.  Suggestions
are welcome.
