My sympathy and condolences. I feel your pain. A couple of nights ago, I noticed that the focus ring on mine was wobbly, and the barrel shifts around a bit too. I had a similar problem a while back with my 31, which I sent off to Pentax, followed by a big chunk of money, and it came back working just fine. Mine isn't in critical shape at the moment, but even worse than the cost of repairs will be doing without it for a while, It is one of my most used lenses, and the closest I have is a 90/2.8. I have considered picking up an 85/1.4 to use while the 77 is in the shop. -- Larry Colen [email protected] http://red4est.com/lrc -- 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.
