diopeter adjustment lever.

At the weekend i took my K20d out of the camera bag and the outer case of the viewfinder dropped off the camera, with the diopeter adjustment lever coming off the body seperately

The viewfinder outer casing seems to slide back onto the body alright.

Unfortunately the diopeter lever seems to be a small piece of flat plastic that cannot be fitted back. I am not sure if a lug is missing or even how it is sctually secured in place.

Any ideas on what to do would be gratefully received.

The camera still works, obviously, and the dipoeter is still set at the central point for my use

Bad luck, sounds like a repair job but you could leave it until your eyesight deteriorates.

That is just what I intend doing. But I was hoping some one might have a bright idea. If you don't ask you don't know!

However I will never know now if it is the lens, the camera, the viewfinder or my glasses that is wrong.

Any chance it will be covered by insurance? If it happened in the house it might be covered by contents.

Thats a good idea. My insurance specifically mentions my photo gear....

Thanks

I'm happy man. The diopter has now been repaired and the eyepiece surround,( which fell) off has been replaced. It has only taken since the 18th October for the spare parts to get from pentax to the repairer.

welcome home k20
