Ugh. That stinks... I like the idea of selling it as-is... it may come to that. -c

I'm not happy with them at all. When I mentioned this on the Pentaxians group on facebook, it was mentioned that KEH will repair Pentax lenses. Precision charges $214 to repair a lens (including a bit extra for second day air return postage). I'd be inclined to suggest that you sell the lens as-is for about $250 less than you would with it fixed, and let the new owner get the fresh warranty on the repair.
