Where's Nigel when you need him?!

Also, strangely, it seems the exif has been removed from the image now.

Another interesting point, the photographer had to take 5,000 images to get this one, and users here complain about their Pentax not getting the shot right first time!

This post on the US forum suggests sending the lens in for repair might be successful:

Not the same lens but the same problem.

While it isn't local to you, you could try contacting SRS in Watford, UK. They are a UK Pentax dealer and post here as Chris@SRSWATFORD
or their site is http://www.srsmicrosystems.co.uk/contacts/
Otherwise try B&H or Adorama on your side of the pond.

I note though that the lens might have been sold from California so if you are in the USA you possibly need to contact Precision: http://www.precisioncamera.com/Ricoh/

Like the OP, if I'd seen it for a reasonable sum at a flea market or boot sale I'd have snapped it up too. However I'm not sure I need one that much I'd be prepared to risk big money on an unknown quantity. Having bought a bargain, make the most of it!

Have you got any photos taken with it, perhaps on your K-50?

Apparently it can.

The 40 is more usable on full frame than the 35 macro. It's nearly as good as the old M version, but just not quite. It covers the whole frame with only slight vignetting whereas the 35 macro doesn't (cover the frame.)

This week's winner just sets and judges competition #501, i.e it is deferred a week. The winner of #500 gets the goodies in lieu of setting a comp. It doesn't seem at all fair that the winner of #499 is ineligible to win the special #500.
