They want £220 to fix mine....
I would strongly advise not to pay that for a repair. Does anyone know what the likely used value of a good K30 would be now?

I still feel it is best to put any money that has to be spent towards a new camera.
Agreed. A good used K-30 body goes for just under £200

Should have added : 'without charge'.

Put in on E Bay for spares or repairs and buy a good used K-5!

My K30 failed with the aperture motor problem last month - about 6 weeks outside my 2 year warranty that I received from Clifton Cameras who are a Pentax Pro dealer. After a sympathetic phone call to Clifton Cameras, I sent it back to them at my expense, pointing out that this was a known problem and that I felt Pentax had a moral obligation to repair it . Clifton Cameras sent it to Johnsons with a covering letter/e mail and chased Johnsons up by phone on my behalf. It was repaired free of charge, returned to Clifton, who then returned it to me free of charge within 3 weeks. Can't speak highly enough of Clifton Cameras and impressed by Pentax's response.
