“Pentax K-1” – repair service to be stopped temporarily
Thank you for purchasing and using our products.
We have started the free mount replacement on lenses, which could potentially scratch the camera body of “Pentax K-1” since June 1st.
Due to the shortage of the relevant materials for production, we are afraid that we have to put on hold this repair service temporarily.
Based on the availability of relevant materials, we are expecting to resume the repair service toward the end of July.

* Once we receive the camera body, we will ask RICOH IMAGING or its authorized repair centers to repair it.
* Due to the availability of relevant parts, the repair process of the camera may take longer than initially expected.
* In case you cannot provide the lens and camera body at the same time and would like to repair each separately, please inform us in advance.
