My *ist DS got back from servicing by Pentax France yesterday. I have to say I'm quite satisfied by them.
The defective part (thumb dial) was replaced. The body housing was completely cleaned, as well as the sensor, and even the dust that was stuck between the focusing screen and the prism was removed. Not that it is specially outstanding, but I've heard very sad stories from friends with one of the Big Brands (not the one with a C :-) ), so I'm happy to see that Pentax even bothers to clean the seats and the windshield before handing back the keys. Of course I would have preferred if my DS hadn't failed in the first place, but now it is like new, and nothing suggests the same part should fail again. Or does it? Sorry guys, you'll have to see my crap now and again! Patrice -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
