Where is the K-S2 letting you down, in your opinion?

Received today and I have to say I’m smitten… in fact I’m tempted to offload a load of lenses and keep this one
I need a nice extended run out with it now

Turns out, that was exactly what was happening. The lower orbit trapdoor fracture had broken the boundary between the sinus and the back of the eye, the sharp inhalation was creating a vacuum so dipping the eye down.
That MINOR feeling is what lead me to go to hospital, and 2 operations (leaving a titanium mesh in there) and one laser surgery (to spot-weld the retinal tear) and I’m very luckily as right as rain, less a bit of double-vision in extremes of vision downwards and to the right, due to scar tissue. It also goes blotchy/puffy under that eye for the same reason.
Moral of the story is no matter how minute an odd feeling in the eye(s) might be, it’s worth getting them checked out.
Wishing you well, Peter. Hope it’s not a negative experience this time.

Also going to post Jonathan’s tomorrow - unfortunately been struggling lately with bad ribs and have been busy with work otherwise.

Lovely lens but no Auto focus...
Id offer £100...
Lovely looking lens, I have always wanted to try one with the Pentax 1.7x converter
This one does look a lovely example, it has to be said (no surprises there for LB).

I'd go for a K-3 or K-3 II over a K70. I think the K30, K50, and K70 models have all suffered with aperture block failure.
The K-S2 does also fall into this bracket, fwiw.
