No luck with B&H. They referred me Pentax which I tried again. I talked to a man this time that put me on hold and came back to tell me I will probably have to go through their repair dept. He told me he would do some more checking and get back to me if he found anything. It looks like JAK has given the best pointer. Thanks again for everyone's help.

I'm retired and took up photography as a hobby, so no big rush. I'll get to town soon enough. I use a 15mm rail rod support with my tripod for long lenses. Just no free handing, which I didn't plan on doing much of with this lens. At least till I get a foot/handle. Thanks for the links.

I note though that the lens might have been sold from California so if you are in the USA you possibly need to contact your local repair centre who I believe are Precision: http://www.precisioncamera.com/Ricoh/
I tried that link Friday. Strictly repair. The lady I spoke to did give me a number that will not return calls. As you and pschlute referenced, I will probably need to go through a repair shop or dealer. I'm rural Arkansas so it will have to wait till my next trip to the city. Thanks for your replies.

What happened to the one that came with your lens ?
Found a good buy on ebay. It was listed "as is" without foot. I'm beginning to see why it was such a good deal. The lens is in great condition otherwise.

I've been looking to purchase the mount / foot that comes on a Pentax 150-450 lens. Did every search I can think of on the internet. Even called Pentax and left message but they will not return call. Any link or info that will point me in the right direction would be appreciated.
