He's older, I'm not semi retired, I'm under employed, and I'd like to
say I'm curmudgeonly from years of dealing with a--holes in software
development racket, but actual, I was born that way.

PJ,
I met Eric as he was winding down his career in camera repair.
He was in west suburban Chicago working part-time(?) in a business he sold(?).
I'd take my old Pentax gear to him in the mornings before work.
He 'retired' to Tennessee, but still does cameras when the farm(?) allows.
Nice guy, maybe your age?
Regards, Bob S.

I'd like to thank every one who replied, and especially whoever suggested
sending it to Erik Hendricson, I'd dealt with him before, but discounted
using him since the equipment wasn't made by Pentax. After emailing him
he's replied that he'll look at the lens so maybe it'll get fixed. I'm
packing it up and now for shipping. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

My Vivitar S1 70-210mm f2.8~4.0, the third version with the A contacts
took a fall of about 2 1/2 feet to a concrete floor. Everything seems to be
all right except the aperture lever is binding just ever so much which is
keeping it from stopping down normally. I took it apart, as much as I felt
comfortable doing, while still thinking I'd get it back together, and was
unable to discover where the lever is binding, though it's just enough to
keep it from moving freely through part of it's travel. Even at that I
managed to lose one small screw.
Any new Pentax equipment I'd send to C.R.I.S. Older stuff I'd send to
Pentaxs.com, but I've never damaged an older non Pentax lens I thought was
worth having repaired, so I'm at a loss.
Any suggestions would be welcome, preferably within the continental U.S.,
but Canada probably isn't out of the question. Though I'm not sure what kind
of hoops I'll have to jump through to get a used lens for repair through
customs.
