A few weeks ago someone mentioned using the correct spec of screwdriver when working on lenses and cameras. I think it was a Japanese spec, different to Philips or Pozidrive. Of cause now I can't remember the name or find the post

Gotta K-3iii now, had a K-S2, K50 and so suffering from a relapse and so buying digital camera kit.
Previous addiction has resulted in using Zeniths, Yashicamat, Chinons, Minoltas, Samsungs, Fujis, Cosina, Kodak, Lumix, Canon, Nikon and Pentax etc etc - have tried most makes in the past 50 years. Love cameras - love taking photos even more

Yes, it's JIS. And getting a set from a photography products supplier via the usual auction site enabled me to remove a particularly awkward screw from an extension tube without mangling the head of the screw - it really does make a difference!

When I replaced the failed aperture solenoid on the K70 I bought this set

Vessel Precision Screwdriver Set TD-56S / +0, 00, 000, 0000, -0.7, -0.9 https://amzn.eu/d/eQQIsO7

Very well made and made the job easy. Also very useful for mending grandchildren's toys, they also seem to use JIS screws.

That's the same as I got, just from a different supplier. Agree about them being well made. Hadn't thought about using them for things other than photographic - I will from now on!
