bugs in viewfinder

Thought my focusing screen was dirty, but i poped it out (really easy) and looked through the viewfinder and the small black spots were still there !

At closer inspection i noticed tiny legs on the spots. This is a new camera !

any suggestions at it would seem these spots (bugs) are in the body maybee on the prism or the internal viewfinder lens ??

same happened with my camera. right out of the box, tiny black speck in viewfinder

i just opened it up and medieval on the intereior with a blower

and that got rid of it

you can also do what i did, shake the camera aroudn. not violently, but give it a good shake, that helped me dislodge the black thing


but take it from me, when i was tkaing pictures with it, i was very much preocupoised on exposure, composition, DOF, and didn't even notice it there until a couple of weeks later when i realised, "hey, i didn't even notice the speck there"

Bugs get everywhere. How did it know it was a new camers? Besides, if I was going to squat somewhere, I would choose the best place I could find.

well it has gone back to pentax as the internal prism/viewfinder is now coverd in tiny bugs 15+ now

Does this mean Pentax is guilty of illegal import/exportation of wldlife?

Could be a plot. I suspect Dr Fu Manchu. Admittedly he was Chinese, but that's just a detail.
