Good thinking, thanks Chris.

[quote:3496ace15f="MHOL190246"]I am pretty certain that the dioptre adjustment is a self-contained unit that just adjusts the eyepiece and is sealed off from the guts of the camera, so gaffer tape should do the trick. Plus, gaffer tape is marginally cheaper than a K3ii

Thanks Michael, I also like the way you think! I hoped that was the case as the lever didn’t seem to be weather sealed but I couldn’t find a schematic to confirm.

I like the way you think Spad!

Hi all

The diopter adjustment lever on my well used K5iis has broken off leaving a sizeable slot above the eyepiece. As a temporary 'fix' I've stuck a piece of gaffer tape over the slot. I've looked online for a technical diagram to try and establish how serious a problem (my guess is very serious) this is with regard to dust and muck getting into the guts of the camera, but I haven't been able to find one. My question is, am I right to think this is a major issue or has lady luck smiled on me and somehow the adjuster is in a compartment sealed off from the camera innards and all I'll need is a new roll of gaffer tape as it doesn't seem to stick very well. Maybe it's just time for a new camera?

Grateful for any insights.

Cheers
Ian

Hi Mike,
Yeah that's my experience too, just wondered if I was doing something daft, but apparently not.

Hi all
Can anyone advise if my K5iis, Pentax 1.4 rear converter and Sigma 18 - 35 lens will all work together in perfect harmony or are there some potential pitfalls?

Thanks all

Ian

Hi, yes, we’ve exchanged messages, the deal is almost done.
Cheers

Hi Kris, Is this lens still available?

Cheers

Ian

Thanks Guys, appreciate it.

Hi
I'm considering sticking some of my pics up on the wall and am thinking about buying a mount cutter to avoid being limited to conventional print / mount formats. Does anyone have any experience they could share? It would need to be an easy to use and foolproof model to suit my lack of finesse in manual tasks!

Thanks

Ian
