Hello all.

I just noticed my Diopter adjustment lever thingy is missing on my K5II.
Does anyone know where i can get a replacement?? i can't find one anywhere online.

The diopter is still adjustable. i just stick a pin in the small opening and move the lever inside left or right… but still...

just a newbie with a good eye

How old is the camera? If still under warranty I'd claim. Unless you've managed to hit it against something it shouldn't fall off = manufacturing defect.

Johnson's may be able to advise/supply part?

I bought one from Johnsons (K-7) so it should be the same part. The postage was a lot more than the lever but IIRC it came in at under £10 total.

Easy to fit (and fall off it seems)

thanks for the replies .

I've had it well over a year now. it probably got knocked off while the eyepiece was missing.. when i replaced the eyepiece i then realised it was gone..
