Two threads about essentially the same lens problem, one had replies and the other didn't.
The other one was about Pentax in general (including 3 different bodies that Dave has had). It would have had a reply had it not been locked within minutes of it being started.

Tell me about it, it seems numpties are moderating the forumI did type quite a long reply to your losing faith in Pentax thread but it got locked before I hit add comment and I really can't be bothered to do it all again.

My K5 came from different shops, incl the two bodies I currently have (which are perfect so far)

I don't think it was a duplicate thread simply because his current issue was mentioned in it. Others with similar experiences might have had valuable, if negative, contributions to add to the thread.
It probably would have made more interesting reading than the plethora of 'For Sale' threads on here of late.

We don't discuss moderating issues on the forum, so please don't.
If you have something to say about the subject under discussion, then by all means do so here.

Was just looking at my new 18-135 WR today and I noticed that one the elements inside the front glass looks like it's chipped. The front element is mint.
The lens was bought new about a month ago from a Pentax Pro centre and only been used 2/3 times and has not suffered any knocks or falls.
What should I do? Contact Pentax UK or the retailer?
Good grief that chip looks horrific ...Was just looking at my new 18-135 WR today and I noticed that one the elements inside the front glass looks like it's chipped. The front element is mint.

Did that arrive by itself ?
Presumably not there when you bought it.
If it's just pinged off my itself that raises interesting questions.

Hence my post about Pentax QC which got locked
As a self confessed fussy person, the lens was not like that when I received it or after my trip to the North East.
Took it with me on Sunday for a walk and only noticed it when I got back home to look at my pictures.

Update
Very pleased to report that, the retailer has replaced the lens.
On the phone, I was told to return it for repairs. After seeing a few responses here, I sent the lens with a note saying that I think it should be replaced given the age.
So HUGE thumbs up for Park Cameras for replacing the lens

Glad to hear
I don't think the dealer deserves ' huge thumbs up' though...they are just doing their job
Cheers
