I would be quite surprised if Pentax still supports the 90mmLS, so you might end up going through an independant. If you are in the US of A, my understanding is that might be best anyway. If the lens is in (more or less) working condition, then likely it wouldn't require parts so much as service. Good luck. My own opinion is that the 90mmLS is worth pretty much whatever you need to pay to make it work. It is a very good optic, and allows you to use flash under a wider range of conditions than the 1/30 second sync speed allows. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
