The way I have found the best to remove dust from the camera "lens mount" area is the "Arctic Butterfly" no blowing, it just uses static electricity to attract dust particals, rocket blowers just tend to push the bits into the camera, the butterfly wand attracts them.

That is why I use them for all my gear, I may live miles away but one phone call and they are the most helpful guys you could ever want.
I wonder if they are still doing the "camera retailer of the year"?
If so my vote would go to them every time.

As you found out it is not that easy, I did check first, saw the shims and knew what to expect, the reason for saying get SRS to do it mainly if you do loose bits or have an ooops it can be rather expesive,and if you are like me stuck with limited funds.
I like you was an electrician/electonics engineer, but not every body has a "delicate" touch.
Also a proper work bench to do the job on.

Good grief, you don't want to post your camera back just to have the screen changed.
Buy a new screen. It will come with special tweezers that make fitting easy. Look up the video on YouTube for how to.
The K200D takes a different size screen to the K20D.
Not everybody is confident at changing screens for the first time.Good grief, you don't want to post your camera back just to have the screen changed.

And if you have a problem very costly to put right, that is why I suggested sending it to SRS.
I would not even do one myself now, my hands are not as steady as they once were, once upon a time I could repair a Praktica B series camera, and any one who has seen the “guts“ of one of these will know what I mean.

Just spoken to SRS for you Dan "the very nice man" Says if you send the camera they will fit the screen for you and just charge postage + the part Chris does them in about 3 mins, I personally would do that.
So it looks like the screen will cost £31.99 + postage, and no charge for fitting, Now that is what I call service

Now i would buy sigma just for HSM, i couldn't see any difference on pictures unless cropping 100%, but i'm not rushing and i can wait for more and more suggestions
The Sigma is very quiet and a good lens, but in my opinion the earlier non HSM Sigma is the better lens.
Others may say different but I can only say what I personaly have found.
