New Sensor?
Mike-P Surely mailing the camera from Spain will be expensive - if you come back to the UK via Heathrow, why not wait until then and drop it off? The Pentax office is 10 minutes from Heathrow.

New Sensor?
Mike-P Surely mailing the camera from Spain will be expensive - if you come back to the UK via Heathrow, why not wait until then and drop it off? Will leave it until I get back to the UK in March and then do some investigating, I have emailed Pentax to see if they can give an idea of price....

New Sensor?
As Mannesty says, you CANNOT touch the sensor.Its behind glass. Getting back to the OP, I dont think a soft plastic blower brush will have scratched the glass, more likely it has left some greasy residue.

New Sensor?
Have a really close look at the sensor again, use a magnifying glass (or a reversed 50mm lens) and check the top left hand corner of your sensor, as that's where this object/scratch is. I would expect you to be able to see it. Dan Ok, finally spotted it, I am 99% certain it is a scratch now .. i...

How do you??
I read the manual. Print out key sections of the manual from the PDF copy and place in my bag and carry with me so that if I need trouble it's with me and don't worry if they page get damaged as I can print off another set once back with my notebook etc.

Cash Back end date
I contacted Pentax yesterday to get a cash back form for the two lenses I bought at the end of January as it is not available from the website. On looking at the form it seems that I may have missed the boat - it seems that the closing date for this offer was 13th Feb - which may be why it's not on ...

Cash Back end date
On looking at the form it seems that I may have missed the boat - it seems that the closing date for this offer was 13th Feb - which may be why it's not on the site4 any more - did anyone else know this before seeing the form or is it just me being unobservant. I knew and I didn't even buy anything,...

Split screen focus aid - a few questions
Because I shoot a lot with my old M SMC lenses, I have to focus manually. I am therefore needing to get a split screen focus aid installed in my K100D. Does anywhere offer this facility where you can take the camera in and they will supply and install or is it a case of getting one off the net and...

If you have a look around on their site you will find instructions for self inst...

Thanks Greytop, I have seen the Katzeye site and the installation guide. Was just hoping there might be a solution a bit nearer to home.

Split screen focus aid - a few questions
I use a spit prism for my K10. I got it from a chinese seller on ebay. A fraction of the Katzeye price and it works superbly. Easy to install yourself.
