Already asked Eric and waiting for his confirmation.
Thing is: I live in Taiwan and Japan is more convenient.

Thanks DSims for the quick answer
Nope, it's not fungus, I'm pretty positive.
I agree - the lens is worth fixing- I'll try to get a hold of Pentax Japan and have the job done professionally there.
Not sure they stock any parts though- apparently, last these were made was back in 2004
Cheers!

Got my hands on an old SMC Pentax 85 f 1.4 IF. Beautiful lens, but it seems that dust/impurities may have found its way in between the lenses (I believe there are 8 layers).
Is the condition curable? ideally, a knowledgeable and crafty person would take the thing apart, clean it, reseal and reassemble it.
I am sure I can take it apart myself. I am also sure I'd ruin it irremediably.
Am I dreaming? Are there such services? In Taiwan? (which is where I live)
Or, should I send it to Pentax in Japan?
Cheers
Thomas

I'm pretty much an enthusiastic but clueless amateur. Got a FA50 mm F1.4 lens (pentax # 20817) and plugged it into my K-5.
The camera refuses to do anything besides keep blinking the following string, on the mall green upper left display and on the main one:
F--
No, I don;t think it's a nasty abbreviation. It probably has to do with focus.
Any ideas?
Cheers!
