I'm sorry to hear about your experience with Pentax Imaging. My sole experience was positive. I had a lens that had been to the local authorized repair facility (Camera Repair Japan in Duluth, GA) and they were unable to get the lens corrected in 2, count'em 2, attempts but Pentax in CO got the lens working just fine in the first try. And the lens was back to me in less time than CRJ had the lens. So I guess this is a big time YMMV.
Originally posted by KatyAZ I sent my camera into Pentax Imaging repair in CO. and I'm sure not a happy shooter. Months ago, I was hit by a dirty water blaster in the hands of an ornery 7 year old. The circuit board needed replaced and it had a new rattle inside that occurred from a reckless Bellman dropping it. It came back to me last week, after $220.00 and 20 some odd days later, with a filthy sensor and the rattle still there. I have never had a dirty sensor that showed visible black dirt on my shots and I was just sick inside. They had it picked up by UPS today for a re-work and hopefully comes home in better shape this time. Has anyone ever dealt with PI?
