Hi, Sid, Well, they're here in Canada, but you may want to e-mail Komineks here in Toronto:
http://www.kominek.com/index.html (their e-mail address is on their site) They have a former Pentax Canada repair tech on staff. They answer e-mails quickly, so I'm sure that they would let you know if it's feasible to have stuff sent up from the US. I've always had great work done by them, and I know Dave Chang-Sang has had a good experience with them as well. I know your preference would be something in the US, but it might be worth checking out. regards, frank Sid Barras wrote: > HI all, > I"m going to send off my PZ1 to get fixed.
