K5 Sensor Issues...
I swapped my K5 on New Year's Eve and never tested for blob-syndrome until last Monday. Clean as a whistle. Phew. But today my sensor or something let me down big time. Doesn't seem worth starting a new thread for it so here will do I hope. I was being driven along, K5 and 18-135 in hand, and I h...

Check exposure compensation in the EXIF data. It's the most likely reason. Apologies for taking so long to get back to you on this I had to find a more comprehensive EXIF file reader than I already had and then the spare time to use it. The reason is probably, perhaps certainly, that somehow or o...

For the benefit of anyone waiting for their replacement K-5 and wondering how long the turn-around might be, I got my replacement today. It took five weeks from the date that I sent it back. It seems to be a new camera, albeit in the old box. The serial number of the old camera began 38741; the repl...

Thats where Chris and the team at SRS do so well. I think I was 10 mins doing my swap over and another hour gossiping and bantering over various other items. Indeed. I'm waiting for Chris to get back to me about stocks of the K-5 so I can swap mine as it has severe FF problems. I don't mind a couple...

I'm going to buy a Pentax K5 DSLR, hopefully on my trip to Australia via Hong Kong this year - in the hope of saving a little cash. I have read about the sensor problems identified on a small number of these cameras. Does anyone know if Pentax have identified a batch of these and is there a list of ...

Sent my K5 (with sensor stains brought in Nov 2010) back last wend and a new one arrived today. Sent direct because the official partner was not that helpful. It has not been tested as yet but cannot complain about the turn around. :D

My original K5 had a "stain" on the sensor which was obvious in a few pictures. It was taken back by the retailer and I obtained a new body after waiting for old stock to clear from the supply chain. What interests me is that the original sensor also accumulated lots of debris adhering to it whi...

I've had a similar problem with dust, but sadly several times. My first K5 had the sensor stain and was very promptly replaced by the retailer. The second one arrived with a sensor covered in small dust particles that wouldn't come out with dust removal or a blower, so was sent back within a few day...

I'm still keeping an eye on mine, since it isn't a 2011 model. I'll be back in Bucks in September so I can always call in on Chris again then if any problems develop. I shall have to leave the credit cards under lock and key though :lol::lol:.

Send it back and ask for a refund. They knew of the sensor issue and shouldn't have supplied a camera from that period with out checking it :roll: Get another one from SRS :wink:

:( That's a yes. Definitely staining. That is very bad of Warehouse Express. As Algi says they shouldn't have sent one from that period out without checking it first. Get your money back if you can and get one from SRS.

It looks like it. You could try another shot slightly lighter and view it at 1:1 If you have any method of cleaning the sensor you could also try that. There's quite a bit on the US forum but you will have to go back to about Jan-Feb. This thread shows some shots

I tested mine with the standard 18-55 kit lens. Focus to infinity, f22 or smaller and then shot at a white-ish wall, moving the camera around slightly to make sure any stains were clearly on the sensor rather than marks on the wall. I also then did the same test using a plain sheet of white paper....
