On the subject of right-angled finders, I went for a third party (Hoodman) one which works just fine and came with an adaptor that witted perfectly. There are quite a few others available costing between £20 & £40

It seems to me that a paper clip or two is essential kit that all Pentaxians should have in their kit

Glad that you have found a temporary solution. I did come across a You Tube video with instructions on a diy method which involved dismantling the camera! The paperclip approach does seem a whole lot safer, though!!

Roger,

This has been raised before see: Lens release on K5

On the other forum, someone with the same problem contacted Ricoh who supplied a new button for DIY fitting.

Hope this helps,

Michael

Thanks for responding. It was a Pentax grip, which, according to the resposes from the other forum, appears to have an inherent design flaw. I have now received detailed instructions on how to take the grip apart and realign the pins. Knowing my luck, I would end up with little brass pins flying everywhere Accordingly, the simple solution is to do without a grip. So far, so good!!

Just a thought. Would it be worth you posting your scenario on the US Pentax forum. I posted a query on our forum a few weeks ago. No-one seemed interested, so I tried the US one. The moderator came back by return with some helpful advice as did several members.

That is certainly odd. If it was not for the fact that normality has returned, I would be thinking warped SD card. A puzzle indeed.

Best wishes

Hi
Have you considered dust etc on the card, contacts or in the relevant slot? Just a thought!!

Apparently if you re-name the flash drive S-SW140 the installation should work. Good Luck!!!
