Sorry to hear that, you could always try sending it off the Kirk at
http://pentaxs.com/ for a repair estimate. He was able to bring my A
24mm f2.8 back from the dead. It's probably not worth it for a lens
that you can sometimes pick up for as little as $50.00 though.

Thanks, P.J.
I'm sure it would cost more to repair than to replace given the damage.
The focus is completely locked up on it -- I can't get it to even budge.
And there's a severe dent in the lens barrel at the filter threads.
She's absolute toast, I'm afraid.

Sorry to hear about your equipment injury! Hang tough. Time will ease the
grief; There's always a new lens around the bend to fondle! :-) Seriously, I
know what you mean. I haven't repaired my FA 50 f 1.4 yet, and my slump
started right after I dropped that lens. It's been ongoing
Thanks, Christine.
The eminently beneficent John Francis has ridden to my rescue until I
can get my hands on my own copy. And there is some solace to be found in
knowing I didn't lose something quite so difficult to replace as the FA
50/1.4, so it could be considerably worse.
But, boy, was

An interesting shot, nicely rendered. Sorry to hear about your unfortunate
drop. Is the camera okay? That lens can be replaced for a minimal amount of
money.

Thanks, Paul.
The camera seems fine, as best I can tell. It still focuses and there
doesn't appear to have been any impact anywhere but the lens itself.
Thankfully, I still have my K 50/1.4 and M 50/2 -- but I sure did like
those A contacts and not having to use the green button to stop down
Thank you, Dave.
It ain't the end of the world, but at the moment, I kind of wish it was.

Sorry about your rotten luck with the K-X/A 50 f/1.7!!

It does come as a blow.
All I can do at this point is get to work on learning my metering with
the K 50/1.4 and M 50/2. Both are fine lenses, but I'm just sickened
about that losing that lens. It really -- *literally* -- was a joy to
shoot with.

Walt, I know how you feel. I have had something like that to me a
couple of times. Once when I got hit on the sideline of the
Philadelphia Eagles while shooting the game for work and the other
time at a pro basketball game, I got hit by a very big player. Both
times I sent the glass back to
Walt,
Did you have a metal lens hood on? Metal, not plastic or rubber.
I put an A50/1.4 on the sidewalk in Washington, DC like that.
The hood died, but the lens and camera survived.

Hi Bob,
No, I didn't have a hood on it, unfortunately. That's something I'll be
looking into when I finally replace it, though.

Thanks, Joe.
At least I didn't have a boatload of money in my lens, I guess.
It's going to be a little while before I can replace it, but I'll just
have to make do with my K 50/1.4 in the meantime -- which I do like a
lot. So, all isn't lost. :-)
