It looks fine to me. My K3 and K5 are the same and produce good images.
Too far from a shore.

Looks like the shutter isn't open?

That's the shutter.
The sensor is behind it and can only be seen if the camera is put into sensor-cleaning mode.

Just checked my Pentax Q and it also looks like the photo's posted above. Must be the way Pentax build cameras. One slight difference though, the grey banding on my Q is vertical, would that make a difference?

That just indicates the shutter is horizontal rather than the vertical one in the 645.

I am posting a few pics of a new pentax 645z with a questinable sensor. Please look at pics and let me know if your 645z sensor looks like this. It looks like someone removed the glass cover (maybe because it was scratched or damaged) and the sensor cannot be cleaned. It is a matte black sensor with no glass. Pics i have seen look reflective. Let me know what you think. Thanks!!!!!
