K5iis replacement back LCD screen
over £200 at Johnsons when I enquired a couple of years ago so just lived with the dead pixels mine deeloped That's what I'm fearing to be honest. Whilst I have no desire to change camera, £200+ would go some way towards a new body. I'm now waiting for a quote from Ashai Photo. Saw this while...

Hmmmm, the link works if you cut and paste the URL into the address line of your browser but not if you click on it in the topic. It's for a new screen for K5 from China ... it's in the list if you search ebay for pentax parts which is how I came across it.

Thanks roberrl, that worked. This screen seems the same as the previous link from the US. I wouldn't trust myself to even think about replacing it myself :oops:

K5iis replacement back LCD screen
Tangential question -- Now that I am accumulating gear I have been thinking about insurance. What is a ballpark figure for say, a K3ii and a couple of £500 lenses and what sort of excesses do they tend to levy? Knowing insurance companies, the OP wouldn't have got much back for the repair of his scr...

Thanks all for the advice and suggestions. I'm currently exploring my landlord's home contents insurance scheme, so fingers crossed. Regards Adrian

Mirror flap revisited
Having recently fixed the problem of aperture block on my K-r ( thanks to the excellent videos on YouTube), I have been frustrated with other exposure problems. As Mirror flap was one of them, I searched the Forum and found several threads dating back to 2014, I found that many folk were having exa...

Mirror flap revisited
In answer to your question The one Nadeem, the Lithium battery is the genuine Pentax original. I have to report that yesterdays optimism was premature. The mirror flap has definitely stopped but the fake exposure still rules. However it is intermittent and I have just managed four consecutive s...

Optical triggering by K70 of AF360FGZ in slave (2) mode
The AF360FGZ was definitely in slave mode 2. Also, I made absolutely sure that there was line of sight between the pop up and the Pentax 360. I haven't yet tried to see if the Yongnuo on camera will optically trigger the Pentax flash - but it is worth a try. I do wonder whether anyone has act...

Pentax 18-135mm WR lens will no longer focus with K30
Hello all, I have had a Pentax 18-135 mm lens with my K30 camera for the last ~8 years now. About a few weeks back, it wouldn't focus. The hexagon light in the viewfinder keeps flashing and no AF is achieved. I cleaned the lens contact and no improvement. I then borrowed a Pentax 35 mm lens fr...

Pentax 18-135mm WR lens will no longer focus with K30
It sounds like an electric contact problem - have you cleaned the contacts on both the lens and the mount? If so, then it could be the motor or some other electronic component in the lens, though the DC motor in this lens is reputed to be very reliable. The best way to check would be to try it o...

Pentax 18-135mm WR lens will no longer focus with K30
Hi! I did clean the contacts but not sure what is the best mechanism to ensure they are clean. I don't have another camera body. The lens is internal-focusing. I had never tried focusing it manually before so not sure how smooth it is now but it isn't as nice as my K1000 and ME super were with ma...

It won't feel the same as your older manual focus lenses did, whose action was so utterly smooth as to be sublime.

North East England camera shops for camera valuations
My father died recently leaving quite a large collection of old and more modern cameras. And I am looking for someone that will do a probate valuation somewhere in the north east of England. Park cameras who are not too far from my father’s house in Surrey are saying a week which is fair enough. How...
