k10d dust trap

... does it need to be cleaned on a regular basis? If so, how? Return to manufacturer?

I'm assuming the sticky stuff that traps the dust will lose it's 'stickyness' over time. how does one replace it?

There are lots of previous threads on this subject already. As for replacing the pads, that's a bit premature, the cameras are only just out of the boxes! I've no doubt that the camps will be split between those who say send it back to a repair house for a proper job to be done and others who will be busy cutting up fly paper and getting out the can of glue....

sorry John, I searched for a while and could find nothing relevant.

I'm all for the 'blue peter' approach with some 'sticky backed plastic'.

I to was thinking the same thing i presume it would have to go back to the manufacturer. Its a very interesting point that maybe pentax can answer. It obviousley something that will need doing in time.

If anyone as any answers let us all know excluding the blue peter methods

I bet we'll all be buying K1D's before the pad needs replacing!
