I'm pretty handy and went to engineering college; how difficult are these things to repair?
The FAs are fairly simple aren't they? If I drop out the front element will I have to re-centre it etc. or will it stay in it's housing and go back in the way it came out?
Can anyone point me at service documents or drawings please?

Did a search here for lens repairers with no joy.
I don't want this gem sent out to just anyone. I'm assuming it's best to send it to Pentax themselves?
Anybody got advice about repairers who really know their stuff, and particularly this lens?
Thanks...

I've just had my beloved Samsung 12-24 replaced for a brand-new Pentax version, but it doesn't seem to have any flare resistance at all and it seems to hunt for focus in silhouette situations.
