I have emailed Mafud the pictures from the Pentax brochures which showed
defected FA* lenses. Since then, he has not replied on this issue (I guess
he has nothing to defence then). To anyone who do not believe Paal or me on
this particular problem, I would be happy to email anyone with those
pictures. Since those pictures were taken by Pentax themselves, you can be
sure they did not go through those harsh conditions as some suggested
(rather, those were manufacturing defects). The picture that I prepared is
208k in size.

Alan Chan
