Re: F28 f/2.8 broken aperture mechanism

Hi Andrew

I think it's your number 2.

I have a good repair shop 15 mins walk from where I live – Sendean Cameras Clerkenwell. They have quoted £150 plus VAT. They once repaired my K5 when the lens change button fell off.

Anyway, I found an FA28 2.8 AL on the other forum marketplace; it's somewhere in the postal system now. Everyone says the FA28 is a better lens than the F28 (I can't imagine it could be much better given the lovely results from the F28). Now of course the one coming to me could be a bad copy, and I will have to pay import duty, but even so buying the FA28 looked like a no-brainer.

So if anyone here wants a F28 with broken mechanism, make me an offer.

Paul
