The, relatively beat up cosmetically, copy that Boris found on Pentax
fora had an asking price of $200.00. Even having suffered a drop to a
concrete floor the version I have /looks/ like it's in better shape.
The entire problem seems to be that it struck the floor mount first, the
rear lens cap took most of the impact and shattered. However it seems to
have passed a little, maybe a lot, I can't tell, not sure how much a
little or lot would be in this case, of the impact force on to the
aperture stop down lever. The flange that protects the stop down lever
is made out of some kind of tough black plastic, and that's slightly
deformed. I'm hoping that nothing sheared off, that all that's wrong is
a metal part that can be carefully re-shaped.

Frankly, my first thought is that this can't be that pricey or hard to
find of a lens and that replacement would be faster/cheaper (or at
least close to the same cost) but then I saw you said it was an "A"
lens. I think those may be a lot harder to find.
