Post a picture, the sensor stain looked more like a row of tiny dots and could only be seen well when zoomed real close in. Your's sounds like a simple dust bunny and unlikely anything to worry about. Like I said post a photo and you will get plenty of helpful replies.

I have added a photo with the blob to the right of the bird.

Hi
Please help I am gutted
I have purchased a Pentax K5 this week from Warehouse Express and have used the camera for the first time. All my shots have got a blob on them which I think must be a sensor problem because I have used 2 different lenses and the blob appears on all photos.
Any of you folks give me some advice about the issue. The camera was brand new in a sealed box.
How can i tell how old the body is from the serial number.

Just purchased a Pentax K5 with a 18-55 WR kit lens and a second hand 60-250mm Pentax lens.
First impression are "WOW" on the build quality of the body compared to a Nikon D300s which I had owned a year or so ago. I have come from a Panasonic GH2 which is a very good camera but just hasn't got it in low light.
After reading the reviews I thought I would give the K5 a try (my last Pentax was the classic ME Super.
Just trying to get my head around the program line feature and the green button.
Cheers

Snappy new year to you all.
Can you guys help me with some lens advice.
I am currently using the K5 with Pentax 60-250mm lens mainly for wildlife/birding photography.
The lens is a cracking lens but i am finding that I have to crop quite heavily on a lot of my images and am wondering if i would be better selling this lens and buying something with more reach eg. Sigma 50-500 or 150-500.
My main concerns are image quality and the Sigma lenses slower aperture.
How does the AF speed /accuracy compare?.
Do you think I would regret selling the 60-250mm ( I can only afford to have one long zoom).
Thanks in advance for any guidance you can give me.
Regards
Andy
