I've got a similar problem with mine. Many years ago I had the tripod set up very low to the ground. One of the clamps wasn't done up tight enough, though I thought it was. I turned away and when I turned back the head was very slowly pivoting down and stopped when the end of the lens hit a rock.
It only travelled about 50mm but since then the zoom ring is stiff and using the power zoom is a no go. As a matter of fact it happened while taking this picture (or one of the frames either side of it): <http://www.arach.net.au/~savage/PESO/peso_016.htm> But the good news is, the filter rings' paint got scratched and not the lenses. :-) Dave On 6/19/06, John Coyle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I must just confirm Dave's thoughts there; my FA28-105 had to be repaired > after being knocked off a table while travelling in Hong Kong, although the > only visible damage was to the filter ring, the internals were very stiff > afterwards. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
