Considering a Nikon D750 at 1400 (gray market), certified sellers around $1800, any price above 2K would kill the sale!
Though I still have several lenses, price definitely would be a BIG BIG factor for me to stay or out!

What's the first lens you would mount on your new FF Pentax DSLR?

Thanks a lot for the info.
Actually I have watch tool set.
But I will contact him, because I don't know how serious the problem is.

Thanks a lot, Steve.
I checked the price list in Precision Camera.
The price varies from $78.50 to $228.50, plus the part fee.
I'm not sure how serious the focusing ring problem is, whether It's possible to fix it personally.
Personally, I have a handy-hand, but I never fix a lens before.
If it's not that serious and could be fixed in a somehow not too complicated way, then I want to try it myself.
Otherwise a professional repair is needed.
That's why I'm seeking advices.

My FA77mm seems to have the same problem.
Focus ring stuck, doesn't work in either manual or autofocus mode.
I can't rotate the focus ring when it's removed.
Have tried K-01/K5, both don't work on the lens but fine with others.

Recently, I noticed my FA77mm has a focusing problem.
For some reason, the focusing ring seems to be tracked in some position (the telescope end).
When the cameras (both K01/K5) were set to "autofocus", then I half-pressed the shooting button, I could only hear the noise of the motor, but the viewfinder didn't change.
When I set the cameras to "manual focusing", I still couldn't rotate the focusing ring.
The stuck-focusing-ring problem existed when the lens was removed from the cameras.
This FA77 is a Vietnam assembled version.
Anyone encounter this kind of focusing problem before?
Any suggestion? Thanks a lot!

My cameras are fine with other lenses, such as FA31MM or 16-45/F4.0

It's better to have FF, otherwise a lot of current users would change to C/N

I have the same question.
Silver version used to be more expensive for trio? Why now is different?
And I need to decide whether or not to accept the black version (a seller sold me a silver one, but now sold out, he wonder whether I would accept the black version or not).
Any opinion?
