I would give SRS a ring or cut and paste the e-mail address if you prefer to use e-mail.

What happens if you focus manually?

Give them a ring, you may not have set up Outlook on your computer in which case you can`t send an e mail directly.
They will give you the best advice.

Try cleaning the contacts on the mount, and just inside the mouth of the mount, with a dry, clean, lint free cloth.
These contacts carry various information to the body. Could be a dirty contact might be the issue, and if it's not it's quick and trouble free to check.

The reason I want to email them is that my K5 is just over a year old and has developed a fault in that it wont focus at infinity but its fine at other focal lengths, I have compared it with another K5 with the same lenses used and its definitely not right.
So do I send it to SRS who sold it or send it direct to Johnsons and am I right In saying because they are a pro dealer I get 2 years warranty, Thanks in advance Robin.
