My wife accidentally broke the mount of my 55-300 DAL. If anyone has an idea where to get a new mount (preferably a metal one) I'll appreciate the advice.

Located in Bulgaria and the local Pentax service center does not have any mounts in stock.

How about a kit lens off ebay?

If the local distributor can't get one within a week or so, I'd be surprised.
Certainly Johnsons had no problems getting me some needed parts for my DA pronto...

part number for the DAL mount is 41287-0-M107-01 if you want to ask elsewhere.

So much for plastic mounts being just as durable as metal ones...

Search e-bay for K-mount lenses for "spares or repair", that's probably the cheapest option, but it'll have to be an AF lens or it won't have the hole for the AF screw.

Personally, I'd wait for them to get one in stock, which I'd imagine would be quite fast.
