Checked mine yesterday and there were telltale stains. Visited SRS this afternoon and body replaced there and then. :) It would be useful to know when any K-5's were bought and the date they were built. I think PhotoMe (free prog) gives the build date. Again good to hear that SRS are on the ba...

It would probably be better than nothing, but Pentax SNo's don't usually follow any set pattern.

Thank's for that so it's not a recent build date which is what I was concerned about. Still can't make my mind up about buying a K-5 to replace my K20D :wink:

I am delighted with my K-5 recieved from SRS last week, but must say the Sensor was very dirty, and it was not just dust but I think multiple (Tiny) spots of grease. I had to buy some swabs and fluid from this super dealer (below) on eBay for £9.99, and I had to use 4 of the swabs to remove 99% of t...

Thanks Roy. These were more spread out on the images and looked like a dry fluid of some description. Hopefully it's not the sensor problem but might just need a more thorough clean.

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...

This dust is coming from somewhere, so I'd be very concerned about that. I can't judge what it might be, but as well as a camera fault I'd certainly have a very keen look at the environment and anything that could be possibly the cause. Indeed - I have had a pretty good think about where I changed l...

K5 Sensor Issues...
I was visiting Saltburn-by-the-Sea on Saturday, on an outing with my camera club. While changing lenses, in the great outdoors as usual, it occurred to me that I have had less problems with dust on the sensor of the K5 than I did with either the K10 or K20. I even thought of starting a thread to see...

I dont get anywhere near as much dust on the K-5/K-7 when compared to the K10D/K20D.

I believe the K-7 and the K-5 both have the newer dust removal system that vibrates faster, maybe that helps? Most likely the predecessor of the K-5 is only a year away... i'm now actually thinking to wait because i still don't thrust the AF in the K5 and i actually hope the upcoming one will hav...
