You already had to clean that lens, what did you do???

Make a photo of the bits, maybe someone might have an idea where they need to go.

I opened the back of the lens and I think that the parts are autofocus. 2 gold 2 silver

The 18-55 mm kit lens, alebit a good lens, is available on ebay for quite reasonable prices. Perhaps it's not worth the trouble to put it right.
Best regards

do not know if I want to buy another. It is my first used SLR (K10). I want a new stack maybe next K-5, but with the price in Bohemia, maybe might change the D 300s. I need something like a list of parts - I am handy

Btw there aren't that many part by the looks of it, so witch bits are you talking about?

No, this is also gold, but smaller. My parts are from beneath those. today has become worse thing ... my Pentax's death ....... either buy a new K-5 or D3oos
When you look at what the link you sent.
Parts are exactly the screwdriver and the lens

Do you mean those long flat curved bits?

Too bad it died... what's the problem?

The Nikon will most likely be updated soon so i should wait on that one, but that's me...

This the best link i could find, it's chinese though but translate (roughly)
link

Good luck since it's a very precise job assembling zoom lenses...

Thanks but all the pictures I've seen.
Looking for solutions for 14 days.
On my K10D, I damaged the joint program selector.
A piece of plastic with the electrical contacts.
I know that Nikon and 4oo 8oo D4x and others will come, but probably will stay with Pentax

Perhaps you would be best to sell your screwdrivers on eBay

I'm a bit jealous with the extra features you've for storbist photography but for the rest I'm happy with Pentax, i love the build quality of the camera and the DA* and limited lenses so for that reason i doubt i will switch.

Those are almost all the parts

So that isn't very helpful, i'm sure when you look at the other photo's you will see where the pieces must go.

I think you mean these pieces.
