Re: DP1 stuck lens problem (I'm intending to DIY it!)

Afterswish:

I would love to do not agree with SigmaTog but unfortunately he is right. The same thing has happened to me in December of 2012 during our vacation at the Island of Madeira when my DP1 stopped working with its lens pulled out. I had 3336 clicks on it.

Repair wasn't easy and worth of the money asked so I ended buying brand new DP1x for $300 (in the USA). I have a little over 500 clicks on it so far and so far I like it very much.

I am pretty sure that you can find a brand new or slightly used one on e-bay in decent price.

If you want to repair it anyway and you are patient and have some skills, you can find a whole procedure on youtube. Just type Sigma DP1 disassembling or something like this.

Good luck anyway.
