Shims are loose metal spacers. I don't know if the K200D has these or not. (K20D does not). I'm just wondering what the loose bits are. Maybe you should call SRS for advice. I'm very sorry if I encouraged you to do the wrong thing.

Good grief, you don't want to post your camera back just to have the screen changed. Buy a new screen. It will come with special tweezers that make fitting easy. Look up the video on YouTube for how to. The K200D takes a different size screen to the K20D. Not everybody is confident at changing...

It really is easy with the K20D, K10D and *ist DS, or any similar model without shims, for any reasonably able-bodied person.

I scratched it in exactly the same way too - with the rocket blower. I was suprised at how easily it happened; I guess I just presumed the screen was more durable than that! I will be ordering a new one soon - I've already taken the scratched one out and back in again to see how to do it - it's ...

SRS are once again offering an outstanding service by fitting a new one for you free of charge - that place is a ledgend! That is why I use them for all my gear, I may live miles away but one phone call and they are the most helpful guys you could ever want. I wonder if they are still doing the "ca...

Hi Scott, I had a problem with dust on the focus screen and had to remove it, it was caused by the rocket blower which is now in the bin, if you have a magnifying glass have a look at whats going on its the most delicate area of the camera so be careful as you could end up with a hefty repair bill, ...

The way I have found the best to remove dust from the camera "lens mount" area is the "Arctic Butterfly" no blowing, it just uses static electricity to attract dust particals, rocket blowers just tend to push the bits into the camera, the butterfly wand attracts them.:D

If any one is interested I have a brand new spare standard focus screen for the K20D, with the tweezers in a kit, available for £20. I had a PENTAX LL-80 DIVIDED MATTE FOCUSING SCREEN supplier fitted from new, freeing up the one in the camera, hence surplus to my requirements.
