Not worth it?
Pay $220 or almost 15% difference in price for a 1 year warranty is definitely no small amount. After all the difference can get you a new battery grip or more memory cards or a new hard disk or part payment for a lens or flash unit.
Did you check the warranty card? Mine has a 18 months warranty written on it. It was the same for my k10D.
Yeah ........ why pay $220/- for a piece of paper ..............:think: ..............:bsmilie:
I feel that it is not worth it. Problems with electronic component usually happen after 1 year++
I have used the k100d for more than a year and it's visibily and 100% alright... And I have not even brought it once to Shriro, which I regretted now (for cleaning).
It was until the warranty's over did I go there to clean it for me...
SO I may just take a little risk in doing so... And if really's so, I can always ask OP for help?!?!

How much did they charge you for cleaning?

I still think that you should have a warranty, after all. May be another 99 people have no problem but you are just unlucky to be the one guy who got a dumbshit set which got through QC. Well, that's why warranties exist.
Or it's may not your or the camera manufacturer's fault but the dumb bloke you lend your camera to. Back when I was using my P&S, most of the guy I lend my camera forgot to use the wrist strap. Some almost dropped my camera (by some silly reasons; but thank god they did not really drop it). Many were stupid enough to touch the lens with their FINGERS (and I was not always carrying the cleaning kit around)! And I also lost count of how many time I borrow a P&S camera with a lens full of fingerprint.
You can not anticipate the risk; so better protect yourself (can you camera too!).

Deadman1709, warranties cover manufacturing defects from the manufacturer relating to the product.
It does not cover user wear and tear or issues like the camera being dropped or the presence of fingerprints/scratches on the lenses caused by use.
Qn 1:
What's good about these lens except they're limited edition. I prefer the FA series, the provide aperture no. lower den 2.
Qn 2:
How limited are they?(include the FA series)

Hi
As I was told by Fengwei previously, the "limited" here does refer to it being limited edition but merely a model range for their higher end primes.
This site is a good resource for Pentax lenses.
