I have one of the latter that I just (belatedly) sent to Pentax to have them bless (= fix)! I cross my fingers! I bought it in that condition, and have been dragging my feet (other things to do that have a higher priority...) If it tests okay after it comes back, I can see it becoming one of my favorite lenses. Glad you mentioned it. No telling how long it would have been! <g> keith whaley -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
