Well it happened. I hadn't even removed the prism. I think I was a bit heavy handed with a lens change in the excitement of getting a 200mm from Japan. I don't need the auto ttl meter so I can just leave it be or should i break the chain off fully so it doesnt rub or get caught anywhere. I don't plan to repair it anytime soon as its a spenny fix

Thanks!

Get it repaired.
 
Any ideas on price for repair? Somehow mine has broken this morning. I hadn’t removed the prism so assume it was tired
 
Parts availability may be a issue now as Pentax stopped production in around 2006 / 7 due to lead in the construction .

I found a US shop who replaces the chains regularly and advertise a re manufactured and improved chain. Maybe they sell them, we’ll see! I’ll post an update here when I know.

Sendean cameras did mine for about £200 including calibrate meter. Who is the US shop?
