Perhaps Pentax does have someone reading this list, read of my problems trying to disassemble a F 70-210 and decided to remedy the situation in future products.

First time shooting the DA*200mm lens last night at the Museum of Contemporary Art. It was dark, crowded, and I had had a few champagnes already. In between sets, I had the lens and camera on my shoulder as I made my way to the bar. I do remember thinking it was odd the lens felt a little loose. But the results seemed ok.

This morning, I took a quick look at the lens. Three of the five screws on the mount were missing! And the other two were loose but still holding on.

Luckily I have a collection of 50mm f2 "body caps" that I never use. Pentax use the same screws on the mount after all these years, so now the 200mm is securely mounted. Phew. The angels must have been watching over me last night.
