Bummer! Sorry to hear. I like Paul's advice. I'd get the whole kit
checked out. Cheers, Christine

Subject: The Limited took one for the team, and a PESO
I was out for dinner in Porto Alegre, Brazil, at a decent joint
featuring really snazzy sandwiches, draft beer, and live music. Check

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?
