On 1/12/09, Jack Davis, discombobulated, unleashed: >Sad moment.. I was unloading gear after returning home from a short >photo trip. Was carrying the "mother" bag, a satellite bag containing >the K20, DA 16-45 etc. and a light tripod (3001 Bogen w/mini ball head). >"Bogen" is easier to spell. >As I approached the door into the house, I caught my toe on the edge of >a throw rug. Thought I was going down so, per survival instinct, I >emptied my hands to help catch myself when I contacted the cement floor. >All but the mother bag on my shoulder went to the floor in sort of a >forward throw. Later, when I turned the camera on, all I had on the >display was a flashing F.. Lens was difficult to remove and was >obviously not mating with contacts. Upon removing the lens, with some >effort, I could see a slight bend in the lens mount on the body. >I put the lens on a K10 and found it mounted OK, but would not focus on >the "S" setting and shutter would not release. In "C" mode. while the >focus indicator light indicated "in focus" at the narrow end, the images >were soft beyond help. Element scramble maybe.(?) >Both K20 body and lens are on their way to the new Pentax repair >facility at 250 North 54th st, Chandler, AZ 85226. > >Jack (sniff)
Sorry to read that Jack. When the camera hit, was it bang in the middle, or off to one side... ----------> ;-) -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ---------- http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- 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.
