Bummer. The 16-45 is a nice lens.

Mark,
The body is fine. There's a lot of fore-and-aft play in the inner
barrel. Eric of pentaxs.com says it cannot be repaired economically.
Sigh.
Considering my alternatives...
Gonz,
Still coming across knob-and-tube wiring in our 1876 house from time
to time, including during our recent renovations. Also came across the
gas line that used to feed the ceiling lights on the first (ground)
floor.

Hi Rick -
Does the lens do this on multiple bodies? You might want to verify that it
is the lens and not the camera. My venerable Pz-1p developed the same
problem with some lenses. It appears that the shaft from the body is not
linking up to the lens right. It's only a couple of lenses and they work
well on other bodies, but consistently falter on the Pz-1p (though like in
your case, re-mounting the lens or shaking it gets things working again, for
a while.)
Good luck with the home renovations - we replaced all of our galvanized
plumbing and Knob and tube wiring last year. Lots of dust, noise and
disruption.

Work and house renovation complications have had me insanely busy for
the last few months, and the completely f#@ked up re-do of photo.net
has inhibited my photo posting.
So here I am to draw on the group's collective experience:
My beloved DA 16-45 is having autofocus problems. It often just goes
click-click-click and doesn't focus. Sometimes a bit of shaking gets
it working again for a frame or three.
Where should I send it for repair? Precision? KEH? Somewhere else?
Cheers,
Rick
