My 18-270 seems like it won't lock focus at infinity. Is there a good place to send it for repair etc. that won't cost more than just buying a used one?
The good news is that the focusing trouble might have just been my finger blocking the manual focus ring at the end of the lens.
The bad news is that no good deed goes unpunished. On my ride a woman was having trouble catching her dog, so I rode past where the dog was, parked my bike, and it promptly fell over. The smart function knob on my K-3 III broke off, and what remains no longer turns. About two months after the warranty expired.
Sigh, I never used that feature anyways, it's not worth paying precision $537 to replace it.
