To John, If I read your initial mail correctly, your Super Program is having problem when the lenses were set to 'A', and only. If so, the problem can be cured easily. What happened was the electical contacts (6 silver contacts, the springs and the circuit board underneath) underneath the "camera" mount have been too dirty (or oxidation) to be reliable. All you need to do is to remove the camera mount, remove these contacts and springs VERY VERY carefully. There is 1 contact which looks different, and its spring underneath is longer than the others. Soak them in liquid cleaner for audio equipment and dry them carefully. Then use the same cleaner to clean the circuit board underneath (difficult, but not impossible). All you need is a perfect fit screwdriver, sharp tweezer, cleaner, and patient. You won't need to strip down the camera, just the camera mount. If you don't want to do this yourself, just tell the repairman what to clean.
If the problem exists when the lens was set to other than 'A', it's the aperture variable resistor inside the camera becomes too dirty. These are 2 different problems. regards, Alan Chan _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
