My K5 from SRS was just as dirty as this, it has cleaned up OK (with DigiPad Image Sensor Cleaning Solutions kit) www. digipad.co.uk but it seems to me Pentax are not doing the quality control they used to do.

My swabs are 15mm across, but I think they ask what camera they are for.

Oh dear. I was about to order from SRS tomorrow after I had confirmation of refund, but looks like I am going to have to hold as the Feb 2011 manufactured, 4XXX serial number camera has the stain too. (hopefully that's just an exception) I wonder if this is a Sony Sensor issue rather than a Penta...

It's a matter of confidence. If it was a problem, we wouldn't have just bought two K-5 cameras. If it proves to be a problem, then it will get solved in an appropriate way. If it proves to be fine then we have the use of our K-5s now rather than at some unspecified time in the future. There wi...

There are a lot of 2011 4xxx K5's out there and only one reported stained - and seeing that thread they clearly are stains. How this one slipped through is a mystery (reused chassis?) However, if the problem had not been solved there would have undoubtedly been more reports by now. I'm sure a poll...

Take a picture then look at the exif file using PhotoMe. This gives more information than you could possibly want but buried in it is the date of manufacture. You can also find the number of shutter clicks. PhotoMe is available for free download. A very useful utility.
