Hope you're all right Jack. Sorry to hear about the equipment, but it's
more important you're ok. Cheers, Christine

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.
