I have a relatively recently acquired K200D. I've done a couple of shoots with models, and it's been great, except for....

Quite a few shots are out of focus.

Quite a few times, the lens, whichever is fitted, seems to hunt for the autofocus, and then, when it finds it (or seems to) the shutter won't fire.

Any help would be much appreciated.

If you'll take Paypal, I'll have it at that.

I have seen this lens advetised on eBay for around £130-£140. I'm looking to use it on my K200D as a portrait lens. Anyone had any experience with this lens? (I'm assuming it's auto focus)

Ta!

Or my last post!!

For some reason, I can't read my original post, or the PM.:

I have recently acquired a Pentax-M 1.7 50mm. It was a freebie and seems OK, apart from the front filter ring, which is loose and flapping about.

I'd like to have a go at fixing it to use for flash portraiture on my K200D.

Anyone know how to get these to bits (in a way that I can get it back together again)?
