How annoying not to have spotted it earlier! Reading between the lines from SRS, there had had quite a few of these lenses that were bad. But it would seem from others, if you get a good copy it is really good! Hope you have some success with this.

You're on a roll! Really great pictures!

Impressive!

That was my thinking at the time! Having said I went down the 28-105 route, I had also originally gone for the 16-85 to get the extra few mm (APSC) equivalent at the wide end. SRS fully refunded as an offset against the K1 and lens.

I suppose a question might be whether it has recently gone blurry (ie did it take a knock at some time), or have you only just become aware of it? If the former, might be worth trying an insurance claim repair if you have such covering accidental damage?

Great image - and good choice of background!

Hi Adrian

Sorry you're having this problem as well! (as originator of the thread linked to above).
Its such a shame as the 16-85 is potentially a great lens. It might be worth giving Alan Marlow a ring; link. I believe others here have used his services for lens calibration etc. Having said that, I am not sure that he can fix it a due to the the way the lens is constructed; I don't think it has fine adjustment screws to shift lenses - rather plastic shims IIRC.

I eventually went down an alternative route; K1 + 28-105!

Love the night time one! You seem to be having a cracking good time over here!

Great set - nos 2 & 3 for me!

I'm not really into animal photos - but this is superb!!
