Sorry to read this Tim I can only wish you luck in your gear being returned to you very soon.wish I could do more but will at least keep my open for your gear

Good luck and I hope to see you and your gear reunited in the near future

Kind Regards

I have used Johnsons repair service for one of my lens and they estimate free and although they take time for me they are the only ones I would use if needed in the future

In my case the repair and service were really good value worth enquiring
Hope this helps Cabstar and good luck with it

Hi David good luck let us know how you get on and fingers crossed your problems will be resolved soon

Hi Slowtour welcome here. I had problems which seem identical to yours but fingers crossed the fault was diagnosed and repaired.I had the same issues and on the first time the camera was returned as the fault could not be duplicated but it was not long before it jammed again,this time a fault was discovered and rectified

The repair docket states Replaced Mirror motor assembly,Adjusted BO FPC
Hope this helps and to date no problems have arisen

Good luck and hope this helps and hope they do duplicate your problem as it is essential to effect the work being commenced

Odd as it would sound but if it is returned as fault not found try replicating the situation which caused it to fail and send it back "jammed"
I did try all the things mentioned but eventually mine jammed and just would not free itself but its great to have it back and best it happens sooner rather than later in my view but I am no expert
Out of interest were you in continious mode shooting ?
Good luck with it

Worth a thousand words really poignant
Really am drawn to this image especially the empty bed and the abandoned room works really well with your use of the light agree with Father Ted you can almost feel the ghosts which seem to linger here

Lens arrived this morning all good except for the lens cap being a non Pentax
Will now need to purchase one

Nothing evident on my monitor either certainly no blocks of red
Hope this helps you isolate the issue

Selfish and downright idiotic with seemingly only one thing in mind...themselves
The sheer arrogance of it...they appear to have gone prepared shame they didnt heed the warnings

Deserve all they get they are niether birders nor photographers in my mine

The more things change the more they stay the same

Many thanks Katie funds sent
