As I mentioned a while back, I fell while shooting the Woodward Dream Cruise
this year. I managed to hold my K-5 and DA* 60-250 aloft, and they weren't
damaged. But my DA* 16-50 was in a lens case hanging from my shoulder. It must
have hit the ground, but it looked okay upon inspection. However, when I used
it I ended up with a number of soft pics. Checking it on a brick wall, I found
the focus plane was uneven. So I sent it to CRIS. They tell me it needs a new
front element group and they don't have the tool to do the job, so they're
shipping it to Japan. Don't know what it will cost yet, but there's an upfront
$60 estimate fee for this one. They said it usually takes six to eight weeks to
get a repair from Pentax in Japan. Hope it doesn't go any longer than that.
