Yes it does - I should have mentioned that in my post.

I used my MX-1 yesterday, took several shots, but when I tried to turn it off, the lens failed to retract. I can hear the sound of a motor working, but the lens remains extended. The camera shuts off normally apart from that.

I removed the battery, left the camera for a couple of hours and replaced the battery with a freshly charged one, but this made no difference. I reset the camera to the default settings, which also had no effect.

If anyone on here has experienced this problem with their MX-1, I'd be grateful for your advice.

PM on its way for 35mm f2.4

Great work to a pro standard, especially with the mixed lighting in there.

[quote:3496ace15f="Yorkie"I'm hoping my new kit will arrive on Tuesday and I will celebrate by becoming a Plus Member to give a little back to the forum - and playing with my new camera of course. [/quote]Good man. Your celebration is most appropriate. Looking forward to reading your posts and seeing the images from your new kit.

Thanks to all for your contributions.

I am now in contact with HarisF1, who is going to do the conversion for me.

Thanks Barrie.

You must have a better memory or be better with the forum search than me!

I'll contact Haris directly to see if he's still doing this.

I seem to recall that a member on here used to offer a service to convert SDM lenses to screwdrive, but I can't remember who, and a couple of searches have failed to produce anything useful.

My much loved 50-135 has suffered SDM failure again (3rd time) and I'm loathe to pay for yet another replacement motor. I've tried to wake it up without success. My research tells me that neither of my bodies - K70 and K-S2 - are able to carry out this process, otherwise I would do it myself.

If you either remember the name of the member concerned or you are that member, can you reply to this thread or pm me please?

It probably didn't show up because it is not a current model (depending on the exact terms of your search). I think it was only produced for a couple of years after its introduction.

And subsequently a man in his 60s...

The investigation is ongoing.
