I inquired to Peachtree about the repair, and just got this message back: "Thank you for inquiring with us. Sorry, we do not service the Pentax units any longer. They are serviced at Precision Camera only. Their number is 860-272-2100."
So... I have a call into KEH to confirm that they could do the repair... they appear to have a flat fee of $235 for zoom lens repair... -c On Tue, Mar 15, 2016 at 11:35 PM, John <[email protected]> wrote: > You might also give these guys a look. > > http://www.peachtreecamerarepair.com/ > > > > On 3/15/2016 9:13 PM, Larry Colen wrote: >> >> I just sent my 16-50 off to Precision for repair and when it came back >> the mount for the hood was on crooked: >> https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157663635484184 >> They did send me a shipping label to send it back, but they sent me a >> "ground shipping" label rather than second day, which means it will take >> a week to get there. >> >> I'm not happy with them at all.
