Hi Friends, had a similar problem with a Pentax "A" 35-105 mm f3.5 Lens - bought Like New for US $ 65 + Tax at Kaufman's Camera in the Bay Area CA. I reckoned a CLA would cost more than buying another one, say from KEH com - $ 149 then. I then took the DIY route after reading up some resources on

Yes, the aperture mechanism is dirty/gummed up: the lens needs a CLA (clean, lubricate, adjust) service. The auto-aperture actuating lever should snap back instantly, somewhere around 10-20 milliseconds max. Half a second is almost literally forever in terms of these mechanisms. G > On Jan

I really like the length of the 165mm. And the intermediate price range for the lens. I had it on a monopod and had to carefully time the shots with the boat motion. Wasn’t easy. Of course they’re not as shop as I would have like but what more could I reasonably expect. -- %(real_name)s

The 75mm shots in Missouri were 2020, December. A southern winter. The UP was in August and shot with the 67 165mm. We had just gotten over Covid and took the popup for a spin. Stayed at the Newberry campground. A nice central location in the eastern half of the UP. -- %(real_name)s
