I think it could be also dust under AA filter as I tried to clean it with dust removal and sensor clean. Manufacturers could have avoid these kind of issues if they had a superb QC. They could pay more attention to the key product(sensor - though it's not made by Pentax:)).

Manufacturers could have avoid these kind of issues if they had a superb QC The trouble is that no-one wants to pay for that these days. If every camera was rigorously tested then the price would soar. I assume that they are batch-tested and as long as faults fall below a certain percentage then tha...

The trouble is that no-one wants to pay for that these days. If every camera was rigorously tested then the price would soar. I assume that they are batch-tested and as long as faults fall below a certain percentage then that is acceptable. Yes. If I were manufacturers, I would not pay for that eith...

Kr Sensor Marks?
Leica had dreadful trouble with their sensors and had to supply special filters for all the lenses - up to two free per customer. High price is no guarantee that there will be no faults.

Kr Sensor Marks?
Nearly all QC nowdays is done on a statistical basis with set confidence limits. It actually saves money because they weigh up how long the product's going to last and reduce the quality if it's going to last too long. They also weigh up what percentage is acceptable for returns. Cheaper product mor...

High price is no guarantee that there will be no faults. I definitely agree with you. But faults with low price make me feel better. That's why I bought the Kr after cacelling the K5 order.:)

Kr Sensor Marks?
I'm sure a lot of k-5 owners would be pleased with that amount of spotting. I have probably got worse dust bunnies on my k-7, if I looked really hard for them ;)

Thanks Ian. But still have one sigle mark when aperture falls down to f6.3 or smaller. But it's much better than before.

Now that Pentax have found out what the problem is in the K5 were does it leave new kr owners having the same problems ?. Ian

Kr Sensor Marks?
I haven't checked my KR for sensor marks. Who decides how much is too much and what is acceptable, surely the owner shouldn't decide whether the problem is a defect or just a dirty sensor. I would be happy to return my camera to the shop, where they can check it, under instruction from Pentax of c...

Kr Sensor Marks?
I have the problem with my K-5. There are two spots, both small but one quite dark. They only show up in rather extreme cicumstances eg F22 and uniform bright surface like sky or a white wall. I emailed Pentax UK support and they proved quite helpful with a very rapid (same day) respose. They ask...

My K-5 went back to Mifsuds yesterday who have today refunded the postage costs. They in turn have sent the camera to Johnsons to be checked over and hopefully replaced.
