Its scary to think that $3500 equals £2500 now.
A few months ago that would have cost £1750.

I would be tempted at trying to get rid of that reflection? bottom left middle as it's a bit distracting but apart from that I think is a cracking picture.

The SensorKlear does not always remove non-permanent stubborn marks though.
That is what I have used on the sensor but it's def a scratch, you can just tell by looking at it in certain light .. a bit like a scratch on a cd or piece of glass.

Pentax can sort it I'm sure.

I would look at getting the glass filter covering the sensor replaced. I'm not sure what that would cost but it should be significantly cheaper than replacing a sensor. ::
It more than likely would be.
I will get it off to Pentax when I return, I like the idea of them returning the camera at no cost to me if I dont like the quote they give for the job.

Well done.

I haven't submitted any for ages so put 3 up at the beginning of the week (2 water drop shots and my avatar) and noticed this morning all 3 had been accepted.

I can never work out what they are actually looking for, I can guarantee if I put them up next week they would be rejected.

Have a really close look at the sensor again, use a magnifying glass (or a reversed 50mm lens) and check the top left hand corner of your sensor, as that's where this object/scratch is. I would expect you to be able to see it.

Ok, finally spotted it, I am 99% certain it is a scratch now .. it reflects back if you catch the sensor in certain light and I gave it a good rub with my sensor cleaning pen which didn't make any difference whatsoever.
It's not often I shoot near f16 so I can live with it until I return back to the UK.

I think .....

Actually the marks down the bottom are where I (badly) cloned out a ruddy great lampost, its the one to the right I am concerned about.

Here is the mark in all its glory, it only starts to show up around f16.
This was at f32.

Mike, did you know BEFORE you saw it on the claim form?
No but that is WHY I downloaded the form as soon as the cashback started .. to check terms and conditions.
