Alan Marlow does it for a £100 I think. Great guy, if anything needs repairing I send it to him.
Last time I knew he could not repair SDM lenses
He will replace a SDM motor.. I think he charges about £130.

I have not had a motor replaced, but he recently fixed my 16-50 ( I dropped the camera and lens) and I was very happy with his service..

I think that lens has a 49mm filter.

Pentax made a lens hood specially for the Takumar version. It fits over the lens and has a special locking ring.

I used it with the 28mm M lens years ago. I've just taken a couple of pics of it:

I've pulled a thigh muscle, am stuck in the house and I'm bored. So I have been trying to make the proverbial silk purse......

Nice set, I like #7 a lot.

The Pyrenees have been on my "intend to go to" list for a while, but not happened yet.

Nice shots Dave - except 4 - the useless b'stard on the left of it just ruins the while shot
Yes, I did think about air-brushing him out
