So, back in June I sent my 16-50 in for two things to be repaired: 1. The barrel was coming apart near the mount (really!) 2. Cannot achieve focus out to infinity when in the 16-20mm zoom range.
I mentioned both of these on the repair information sheet when I sent it in. When I got the lens back, the barrel was nice and solid (yay) but the infinity focus problem remained. I have since tested the lens on 3 different bodies (even my ME Super with the nice big viewfinder and the split-prism screen) and, sure enough, vertical lines at infinity CANNOT be made to line up. They never fixed this problem! So, I have just mailed the lens in again. Is there any hope that they would, perhaps, expedite the issue as this is a return engagement for a problem which should have been fixed the first time? Failing that - are there human beings who can be reached on the other end of a phone line to make sure this problem is actually addressed? Seems to me that the repair notes which came back with the lens in July: "...All function have been returned to factory specifications" "..adjust autofocus circuit and test with AF body" and "..Adjust focus and test for all proper operation" Should have done the trick, but it didn't. I'm wondering if I'm wasting $20 on shipping to get the same (defective) lens back again and I'm looking for any way to be more sure that something is actually fixed this time. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
