I was out for dinner in Porto Alegre, Brazil, at a decent joint featuring really snazzy sandwiches, draft beer, and live music. Check the picture at https://plus.google.com/107606703558161507946/posts/fb6ZAa3Vid6
Anyhow, we rearranged some tables and during the 30 seconds in which the K-5 with the 40mm Limited was sitting unguarded on the floor the waiter kicked it down a couple of stairs. Hard floor. It seems to have landed on the lens. Now the 40mm won't focus further than about halfway out; put it in manual and you can't physically turn the focus ring. Pain and anguish, etc, but I'm glad the lens took the fall for the camera. Anyhow, this is my first Pentax lens breakage. Anyone have insights as to whether this is apt to be fixable? One goes to a dealer, I suppose, and they send it off? -T -- 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.
