It may well be worth testing this on another body too.
How do you find the accuracy of TTL centre spot focussing with your K-5iis?

In total darkness open the camera and carefully wind the film back into the cassette. (Maybe in bed with the light turned off! Been there, done it!) Good luck
The official answer would be to remove it inside a film changing bag but I guess you haven't got one of those. Whatever you do Just don't get light onto the film or you'll fog it.

Seems the new Pentax D-FA* 85mm f/1.4 lens won't be necessary after all!
People keep saying (mistakenly) that there is nothing new coming from Pentax. With results like those it shows it doesn't really matter at all.

JR reviewed it here: https://www.ephotozine.com/article/vivitar-auto-macro-55mm-f-2-8-vintage-lens-re...
I have the 90mm version from when it was still a current lens.

The exact same thing happened to me, got my K-50as a birthday present two years ago. It's been working fine until last week. LiveView worked fine, not darker than usual. But the pictures were completely black or very very dark. Googled around a bit and did some trouble shooting so I got the same as many of you. It seems to be an aperture control block failure. I fired of multiple shots in speed mode and it started working again. So like for the rest of you it'll also stop working again.
Lucky for me I have an old lens with an aperture ring, Hopefully I can just use that one instead and continue to use the camera. I'm not a rich lady, and I just passed the warrant expiration date so I guess I don't have much of a choice. I read that some of you have been reporting the failure, getting in touch with pentax and using the pentaxcamerarepair.com team. But I live in Sweden and the shipping costs are huge.
It's just something to accept unfortunately. Good luck everyone!
If it's only just out of warranty contact your dealer or https://www.ricoh-imaging.se/ and see if they can help.The exact same thing happened to me, got my K-50as a birthday present two years ago.

I'm pretty sure you can do that.
