K3 fail.
Hi. My K3 with fewer than 20k shutter movements gave up recently. Have sent it to Pentax via SRS Microsystems who are awaiting news from Pentax. Apparently they won't allow spares for 3rd party repairers. Anyone else had this problem? Camera worked in the morning and wouldn't switch on in the afternoon. Gutted.
I presume your camera is out of warranty ?
If so I would be wary about letting anyone who wasn't the official repair company fix your camera. I know the repair will not be cheap, but at least you will get a warranty on the repair from Pentax. You are doing the right thing going back to SRS. They are the best Pentax retailer in the country and will do their best to help you if they can.
I hope you get a solution that is not too costly.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
