Pentax SMC 17-70 mm f/4.0 f/s with crumbs inside.,....
Seems to be a lot of issues with sdm .
Also can't see how the piece of cake won't appear in every picture...
Then the problem with crumbs binding and fungal growth...
Will look for something else...probably the 16-45 which has much better reviews and is way cheaper.

A very under rated lens. Actually useable at f4 even at the wide end. But be careful using the supplied hood - if you plonk it down mounted on a camera, extended and with the hood on, sooner or later you'll end up with a wobbly decentered lens. Amazon have them at a good price at the moment.

There was a Pentax lens that swallowed a bug, what a lug to swallow a bug.
It swallowed the bug to eat the crumb, I don't know why it swallowed the crumb. Perhaps it's dumb.

Perhaps its time to put a cap on it before anything else gets inside!

I found a Pentax SMC 17-70 mm f/4.0 going really cheap on ebay.de, but there is a crumb inside the lens...
The seller doesn´t know how it got in and says it only affects images if there is a backlight/sun behind which I guess is a lot of the time.
Question is, can it be got out easily?
is it possible to fix it at home?
ends friday 20th at 4pm so answers quickly please....
