If out of warranty, who are the importers? Maybe they could assist?

Yep, I should have said, the Ricoh pin problem, afaik, only applies to non Pentax lenses. The Ricoh reference goes back to film days when they made lenses. This has become a generic description; it also affects other lens makes.

Essentially, with certain lenses, the pin that operates the lens aperture can drop too far into the hole where your camera's screw drive emerges and stop you removing the lens.
Before putting any of your older lenses on your K50, make sure you won't suffer from this issue. Research it, and/or wait for expert guidance on this forum.

Go to E bay. click on 'advanced' to the right of the general search box. Enter Pentax K5, scroll down. click 'sold items', scroll down, click 'search'. You'll get the price of every one sold in recent months. ......... I just did. £115 is too cheap. They are skinning you.

The lens is out of warranty unfortunately.
A good question as to who are the importers. A cannot find a reference to one. I am trying the few companies who advertise Irix lenses for sale.
