Have seen an auction for a cosmetically mint K01 but the shutter appears to be jamming after a few shots, it clears on power up but happens everytime...
Does it sound like an easy issue?
Anyone came accross this?

Cheers

Not an issue someone bid £71 for it...bit risky not knowing how much repair would be...

I'm a bit late, but for what it's worth, I retired my K-01 because of a jamming shutter. I've heard of it happening to others, but have no idea if it is a common occurence. I didn't send it in so no official estimate, but my local camera store suggested 150€ or up as possible repair cost - and they had a great offer on the K70 so ...
Great little camera the K-01 though!
