Hi list, Today I sent my two favourite zooms, the F70-210 and the FA28-105, to the Dutch Pentax importer for repair. Both had falling damage to the zooming mechanism after a moderate fall (from a table and from my shoulder, to wooden flooring and asphalt respectively). What sort of bugs me is the fact that camera and lens were in both instances in a padded, 'protective' pouch. I am wondering if the damage would be even worse without the pouch, or if my example (a 6 year old Vanguard pouch) is not up to the job. Or was I just unucky? Anyone with experience and/or advise? Apart from not dropping lenses, that is...
On a positive note, this is the second time I dealt with the new Dutch Pentax importer. At least their response to email is fast and adequate. I hope their repair service is the same... -- Regards, Lucas -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
