Thanks for the info/suggestions. I'll see if I can find a broken lens locally for donor parts. If I can't find anything I'll try ebay or perhaps the spring vendors you mention.

I recently removed my Pentax-A 28 mm f2.8 from my K100D and the little retractable 'A' contact and its spring popped out. I found the contact but the spring is gone forever. The lens still works fine, but not in 'A' mode. The viewfinder displays F-- for the aperture. What are the repair options? I removed the 5 screws holding the mount to the lens body and it appears as though I could just replace the spring (if I had one). Anyone have experience with this? Any sources for replacement springs or do I have to find and cannibalize another lens? Thanks for any suggestions!
