Re: broken pentax lens

thanks for the help.  i tried this, but the switch is bent about 25
degrees toward the next level up and is about 1/2 between the manual
and auto switch.  i am not sure about the camera model--it is a new
digital pentax (purchased 2005), but we are using the lens from an old
pentax (circa 1970) that we still have which also works great.


Is this the lens you mean?

Your posts are kind of confusing to this point. It's unclear what lens you're describing. Look at the front of the lens and tell us what it says there.

Example: (I'm looking at one of my lenses) and around the front bezel it says SMC PENTAX-FAJ 1:4(22)-5.6(32) 18-35mm -AL- *1*

When exactly was the lens purchased, and what camera by model type/name/number, etc, did it come with?

And what circa 1970 camera, again by model type/name/number are you trying to use it with?

Again as an example: "Purchased for my *ist-D in 2004 and I'm also using it with a PZ-1P"
