k200d focus screen

hi any help will be greatfully recieved,
basically i have scratched the focus screen with a blower,
first i noticed a hair on the mirror, so took lens of to blow away, but would not blow of, so used the brush, worked ok, put lens back on, and noticed what looked to be lots or splinters of hair from the brush, looked inside again and nothing on the mirror or screen the stuff was on the top of the focus screen, so blowed it with the rocket blower and scratched the screen(what a wa***R)

What a Wa***R in deed If I were you I would buy a new focus screen and fit(£32 approx'), the blowers do more harm than good if your not carefull


EDIT:Typo

yeah your right terry,do you know where i can buy a screen for the k200 also is it the same as a k20d

Give Chris a call at SRS £31, he can tell you if there the same, you get the tweezers to fit/remove etc.

Phone No 01923 226602

Just spoken to SRS for you Dan "the very nice man" Says if you send the camera they will fit the screen for you and just charge postage + the part Chris does them in about 3 mins, I personally would do that.
So it looks like the screen will cost £31.99 + postage, and no charge for fitting, Now that is what I call service

Good grief, you don't want to post your camera back just to have the screen changed.

Buy a new screen. It will come with special tweezers that make fitting easy. Look up the video on YouTube for how to.

The K200D takes a different size screen to the K20D.

that sounds great, i dont fancy doing it my self, will have to give them a ring at some point, as abit tight for cash at the mo.cheers terry and loskeran.

It's ever so easy. The only potential problem is dust can get on it, but that can happen even if you don't change the screen yourself as dust gets in the camera.

hi ice blinker i cant find any videos on the k200d, and cant find any for the k200d,
other than overseas, the k10 k20 is differnt to the k200d,

K22D, K10D, K20D change all the same way, check out Pete's link.

the tray is def different,

to rub salt in to the wound , the bits have gone into the eyepiece (gutted)

Sorry I didn't realise the fitting procedure was different for the K200D. It's been exactly the same with my K20D, K10D and *ist DS.

I don't know what the loose bits are. Shims?

SRS are bound to be able to put it right for you if you can't yourself. You were considering sending the camera it back anyway.

sorry iceblinker, lost me where did you see this about the shims,
