Why not have a go anyway Steve, by the time it's posted on the forum it won't really make any difference. Unless of course you have something extremely complex in mind!

Warmed up, straightened, slightly cropped, contrast and brightness adjusted with levels and given a fair degree of sharpening. All done in Photoshop CS5.

I've downloaded it and I'll have a go shortly.

I would leave it on. SR detects movement, and doesn't stop working just because there's no movement in one particular direction. There will be plenty of side to side movement, which is one reason I don't find monopods very useful.

There seem to be more instances of this when using a grip. There are plenty of people who have had no problem at all, including myself and Sue. We've never had any camera lock up in this way.

However, the instruction manual acknowledges that it can happen and the cure is to remove the battery and start again. Not so much different from any other computer I suppose.

Rokinons and Mitakons belong to a different era than the lenses we are talking about here, it's an odd mix of experience it must be said.

Glad it's sorted for you.

It's only early examples of this lens that were a problem. I thought Pentax said that the motors had been upgraded?

Why abandon a perfectly good, high class lens? Repair, however long it takes, will leave you with a top quality optic, so I'd just send it in to your local approved repairer and let them deal with it. They might even do it quickly.
