Did I miss the post that said we were moving to the Affinity server?\ Suddenly realised I hadn’t seen any posts from the PDML for some time!

Re: fall down followup
Ouch! You might look into insurance. I have a “rider” on our homeowner’s policy that covers my cameras and lenses. It wasn’t expensive.

I mentioned that a few weeks ago I helped a woman catch her dog, in the process, with the heavy camera in the handlebar bag the bike fell over. Shortly thereafter I noticed some issues with the lens focusing, but they seemed to correlate with low contrast situations, the camera wouldn't solidly lock focus on mountains through the haze. A couple days later I noticed the smart function dial on the K-3 III was broken. I took the camera and lens to the local repair shop today, I hadn't noticed that the barrel of the lens was actually broken: https://photos.app.goo.gl/rW86kLCAo8vWTRKa9 The estimates were something like $450 for the lens (which I can buy used for half of that), and $700 (even more than precision) for the camera body. Sigh. I think that for now I'll replace the lens with an 18-135, much less expensive, water resistant, smaller, and I think sharper at least within its range. When I have some time, I may try taking the lens apart and doing a kluge fix myself. In any case, if anyone has either an 18-135 or 18-270 they're looking to offload, let me know. I'm also beginning to think that I should just pony up the dineros and send the K-3 III to precision in case there is anything else I missed. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com. sent from Mirkwood -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
