Bad to hear it developed a fault but great that it has been sorted quickly despite being a second hand purchase. Was good you had the original receipt with the lens.

hello,
just to say i got the same problem on my 18-135 :
between 18 and 24 the lense can't focus at a distance over 2 meters, under this distance, it works better,
when the subject is in dark light, the autofocus works better !!!
it seems that the IQ is very poor at this range
did "digitalKitchen" sent his lens for repairing and was it successful ?
He only ever posted those three comments in this thread so guess we'll never know unless your post generates a new comment email to him and he responds again. Perhaps he returned it and you've got it now!hello,

Has it just gone like this? Also, is it OK when manually focussing?
While John Riley's suggestion seems the way to go still, it might be worth seeing if cleaning the contacts on the lens and camera body help first. If the lens has just got sluggish, a good workout might bring it back to life if its the SDM motor struggling. It could, perhaps, have got some grit trapped preventing it working smoothly and a workout might free it.

Cheers for that. By time I've saved up the offer will have ended! They've been some pretty good little used 2nd hand 645D bundles around this year at around the current K-1 price.

There's no difference between a pro and amateur lens, as we all know. It just depends on intended use. If the photos are taken for sale its pro, if it's just to show Auntie Agnes afterwards it's amateur. A lens is just a tool that does a job. The 40mm XS could also be a pro lens too!
If the rule is no lenses longer than 8 inches they should just stipulate that and you'd know just to take a 55-300 with teleconverter and you'd be back up to 450mm.

My bad was looking at profile on Pentax forums
His actual last post there was in July 2016, though I can see activity has been logged recently. Could that be caused by active tracking cookies on a PC he's used in the past without logging out and not necessarily by him on this occasion?My bad was looking at profile on Pentax forums

You'd think a financial advisor would know when and when not section 75 of the consumer credit act applies and not give duff advice about his specialism. Professional, not!
So maybe Algi, you're right. The weblink in his profile links to his business site, not a photo site as others here do.

These beach shots of yours are fantastic.
They make me wish I was close to one so I could TRY and get some shots like yours.
Another super shot.
Agreed on that and I am so I've got no excuse!These beach shots of yours are fantastic.

Can't see how they considered a lost 13yr old could be mistaken for a crazed man on the loose.

rewteeting can be automated.
A point earlier on this thread about not being able to pay by credit card with these sort of transactions - you can of course if the seller is willing to issue you a bill via paypal which then you can pay by credit card rather than logging in to paypal itself.
When I have engaged in private sales I always insist this is how I will pay and am usually happen to add on a couple of quid if the seller is twisting about paypal fees - i just see it as buying consumer protection.

Protection doesn't apply in instances like this!

The ink should weigh the same because they use the same letters
