Re: Minolta 28mm 2.8 from ebay with problems, could you please help me out?

I see what you mean, that little strip seems to have come loose from the inside. Have you perhaps thought of getting something thin (back end of a needle) and tried pushing it back in to its place - twisting the manual focus to where it is easiest to get it in?

Even if you do get it in, it would probably come out again.

I can't really answer your question as to whether you should keep it. My one has sticky blades and is useless (despite my cleaning the blades twice).

If you don't use manual focus, maybe ask the seller for a 25 Euro discount, else send it back. As you would have to sell it at a lesser price should you ever want to sell it.

Regards,
Renato
