I am with John on this one. As long as repair costs less then a good second hand copy, why would you not repair it, even if just to resell it. Plus, if you would buy a second hand copy you would not have certainty that the same problem would no occur again. If you repair you would have a copy you are happy with, a brand new SDM and a warranty. And if I am not mistaken the new SDM should more reliable then the old one.....

Yes, there was a Pentax person on here briefly, who didn't get a particularly warm welcome from some I'm afraid,
Is that's who I'm thinking of she wasn't a 'Pentax person' but rather a sub-contracted one person "PR" business
Yes, that is what I remember as well. But the fact that a Pentax/Ricoh representative does not get a good welcome is not a good reason not to be active , on the contrary. By what I have seen Pentax/Ricoh does not seem to react to what is happening on social media (such as this site), which is a key part of marketing nowadays

I wonder why it's £55 cheaper from France than the UK.......
Both sold by Amazon........ Can't have anything to do with TAX

The are often huge differences in price between different Amazon sites. Same product:

UK 454 euros
FR 408 euros
DE 305 euros

I guess in part is due to the cheap euro as Gwyn says, but market conditions are very different and competition in Germany seems to be very strong.

I like the composition

It is different in a good way - a decent 15 quid - the ff model will cost you a few quid more though
It is a FF lens....

Umm!

100-300 or 50-135 or do I want a divorce
I am sure I am not going to help you with this , buying a Sigma 100-300 really does not cost anything. The moment you want to sell it you will get your money back. And if Pentax releases a FF camera.....

In my view, the 100-300, there are many more 50-135 for sale
