I've just got back my F 70-210mm from him. I've sent a number of lenses
to him, anything I expect that Pentax no longer repairs, and I believe
that the F 100mm is one of those lenses. If parts aren't available CRIS
won't even try to fix it.
I'll be posting a few shots I took with the 70-210 today, well yesterday
now, it's not 100%, more like 99%, it auto focuses and zooms smoothly.
The images are pretty sharp, maybe not as sharp as it was when I first
got it, but this is the second copy of this particular lens that I've
owned and it has never been as sharp as the first copy was, which may
color my judgement.

Send it to CRIS. You'll find them at criscam.com. They're the authorized Pentax
service center in the U.S., and they do good work at a reasonable price.

I recently dropped my F100/2.8 Macro. I really liked this lens because it's
fast, sharp and has a focal length that fits my needs. Also, it is much
easier to carry and hold than my FA* 80-200/2.8 which can provide the same
2.8 aperture at 100 mm.
The lens only fell about 1-1/2 feet but fell on asphalt and hit on the
corner of the filter ring while mounted on my K-5.
The lens is totally jammed. The focus ring won’t turn at all and filter
ring is slight bent.
My questions are:
1) Where do I send it? Is the Pentax shop in CO my only/best option.
2) What is your experience with getting lens repairs? Can they fix it?
Will the cost be worthwhile.
I really don’t want to give up this lens but I also doubt I could replace
it.
Thanks for any help.
