Earlier this month, I sent my 17-70/4 zoom for repair (while it was still under warranty, - before the end of the 1st year). It had problems focusing on the long end of the focal length, - AF (and I couldn't get the focus confirmation when focusing manually).
I just spoke with the service center, and they told me that they are waiting for the parts (the circuit board), and Pentax has no ETA for its arrival. I also spoke with the Pentax Support, but they haven't given any estimates either. 1. I wonder what is happening with PEntax that they don't have even ETA for their parts. 2. I wonder if this problem (or more likely, - the absence of the circuit boards) can be related to the infamous SDM problem.
