I've had the camera for about a year now. Light use. Very nice. But yesterday I was zooming out with the stock lens and near the farthest point the zoom got a little stuck and then a click was heard before I could zoom out all the way. Now it won't zoom all the way back. It comes back to about 35mm and is just stuck. The Mega OIS On-Off switch came loose at the same time. Something get loose inside and is blocking the zoom? Or is it something else. I like the stock lens a lot. What's up? Toasted? Anything I can try to fix it? Reparable? Worth repairing? I'm sad. Love my GH1 and stock lens. Thanks, everyone.

Someone purchased it for me. B&H. I never filled out a warranty card. Thanks.
Is there a half-inch, folded, black ribbon on the inside wall of the lens? Normal? Part of the zoom-action? Could that have gone wrong? It's not a firm stop, but no real give. It actually stops at about 25mm. Thanks again.
