I have not noticed any problems whatsoever. Any issue with focusing are due to my (lack of) skills...
In any case, a few pics I have taken with the lens. If you interested I can take a few and send them to you.
300mm / f 7.1
260mm / f 5.6
300mm / f 5.6 (original and crop)

Hi,
This is silly..... and defies logic
A few years back I had a Canon video camera. It stopped working, out of warranty. I took it to the repair center. Their diagnosis was that they had to change components, but the repair + component price was higher than the value of the camera. So they told me and they asked approval from Canon to repair it for a more reasonable price, which they received.
My point is that besides the issue of whether it is covered by warranty or not, it is plain unacceptable from a customer service point of view to act as they are doing.... It looks as if they do not care about Pentax users. At the end of the day this thread is costing them immensely more than any warranty costs on your camera. they are generating so much negative goodwill and what is worst they do not even figure it out...... Sad!
Now, if instead they had reacted differently, you would writing all over the internet about how great Pentax is and how well they look after their customers.... Think how much that is worth in free advertising!!! again, sad!!

My asking price is in Euros, but I will happy to transact also in £.
In that case my asking price for the DA*300 is £665 and for the DA 43 £435. These include shipment to UK/EU (signed for) and Paypal fees. I assume that given the value of the items PayPal would be the way to go, but payment by bank transfer would reduce the price.
These lenses will also be advertised on other sites.
