Hi all

I bought one of these via eBay to use on a pentax digital SLR

unfortunately the A selection on the aperture ring is very erratic (checked on both the digi and a P30)most of the time both cameras fail to recognise the lens as being on A and treat it as f22.

has anyone got any recommendations, hints or tips as to repairing this lens.

Better still I'd welcome the offer of repair for a fair fee (UK offers)

Send it back, it could be well worn. You can pick up these for the cost of a 'fair' repair fee.
