I would try a factory reset in the menus, updating to the latest firmware and using a new battery. Make sure the battery is OK first before doing any upgrades, just maybe it's reached the end of its life?

Thanks John - I was already on V1.07. Tried the reset and fresh battery - no change but worth considering of course.

Cleaning lens and body mount contacts with a soft dry cloth is another possibility, just in case the contact has been partially lost.
Other than that, back to JPS for a repair quote i think. I would suggest joining Pentax User Plus first, then you can download the form from this site for a 20% discount on JPS servicing.

You could try the sensor cleaning mode if that fails it looks like you have a serious problem. My K10 failed a couple of months ago, you can hear the motor straining to lift the mirror in the above mode.
