Unless someone needs two of them.

Hello PDML:
Well, I sent in my FA 50mm f1.4 & my DA* 50-135mm f2.8 in to CRIS. The FA
returned pretty quick--just got it an hour ago, and looks to be ok. Here are two
quickie test shots. Metadata is above the photo.

I'm getting a replacement motor for the DA*. I purchased the lens 4th quarter
of 2007, and this is the first repair I've had on the lens--so that makes
nearly a 6 year run with absolutely no hiccups until this recent service. Not
too bad I guess.
Curious thing about the replacement motor though. The service guy at CRIS said
they had to order the part, which seem well curious to me. Isn't replacing the
motor a common repair? Wouldn't they have motors on hand?
Anyway, the DA* repair takes about two-four weeks. I got the FA 50mm back 10
days after I called to give go-ahead on repairs after getting estimate via
email.
Well, so far, so good. Keep your fingers crossed for the DA*.
Cheers, Christine
P.S. Still keeping up with PAW but the last three shots are so boring I
decided to spare the list the pain. :-)
