Sorry. Do you just send that off to Pentax for repair? I'm curious. Do they
give you an estimate?

Subject: Looks like the FA 43mm is going of for repair.
Seems the inability of the FA 43 not being able to achieve focus lock at
middle distances was a harbinger of doom. The focus is jammed solid. Damn.
I was actually going to send if off to Eric Hendrickson
<http://pentaxs.com/index.html> he's an old time Pentax repair guy.
I've had dealings with him in the recent past, gives estimates and was
able to bring my A*24mm f2.8, which I dropped, back from the seeming
dead. He also fixed the focus problem I had with the A*300mm f4.0. He
give estimates and his prices are very reasonable. However he doesn't
have a large supply of spares, if he can't repair the 43mm because it
needs parts, it's off to Pentax. who also give you an estimate, I
haven't used them in years though, I was soured on them when they
wouldn't repair my MX under warranty, which just shows you how long I'll
carry a grudge, I'll only send Pentax gear that I cannot get repaired
anywhere else.
