It turns out that front lens tube on my just repaired FA645 33-55 zoom is not straight but points slightly to the left. The lens was impact damaged and repaired at the price of $750. Every lens tube seem to be replaced. In addition, the lens makes a noise and you can feel a vibration at the focal lenght of 46mm while zooming. If I push the front lens tube upwards while zooming the dent in zooming action at 46mm dissapears. Of course its only mm off but it is visible. I don't know how it will affect image quality but I think I at least need to give Pentax service a call. The worst thing is that this lens was repaired in Holland and I just returned the loaner lens. Arrrgh!
