I recently had a vertical, with "sudden stop" mishap with my beloved DA 16-85 lens..... And now it won't focus or zoom....
I contacted numerous times Precision Camera repair, but I have not gotten any response. Also I noticed that, this particular lens is not in their Pentax lens lineup.
So I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the KEH camera and lens repair service.
The quality of their repair.
Thanks for any input.

I would contact KEH directly and ask if they can specifically repair you type of need with that specific lens. There was a time when it was difficult for 3rd parties to get parts, but I'm not sure that is still the case.

AFAIK only Precision in the US has the tools to adjust Pentax lens focus. With a drop you may need that kind of calibration (among other things). So it would be best to contact KEH and inquire and they may still refer you to Precision.
