I'd be grateful for any advice on dust removal.
Has anyone had persistent dust on the 645D sensor?
What methods have been used to remove the items?
Has anyone had to return it for cleaning and who did they use?

thanks
Paul

Thanks for your comments folks.
I bought a Pentax cs 205 and voila it works perfectly.
There is actually quite a difference in the profile of the right angle connector cf.Canon and others. So if you want a cable release to work properly with the 645D you need to buy the Pentax one.

no longer required- I have found one now

I am looking for a Lowepro Mini Trekker AW backpack. Must be in good condition.
I have had one for many years but it needs replacing.
Please PM me.
thank you

I am experiencing erratic performance with cable releases on the 645D and wonder if others have noticed similar issues.

There is a tendency for the cable releases to work loose in the socket which is not helped by the design of the rim around the socket and the right angle cable connection onto the mini jack. I have noticed similar effects on the K5. If the cable rotates, which it easily does, then at certain positions it does not make the connection. Focusing is achieved but the shutter will not fire.To make the release work consistently on the 645D I have to press & hold the jack into the socket- somewhat negates the purpose!

Incidently,I have been using mirror lockup and 2sec. delayed release as an alternative.

I am not using the pentax cs 205 but have used several other releases incl the Canon RS-60E3 which is supposed to be identical to the Pentax cs 205. Maybe the simple answer is to use the Pentax cs 205 but I would value advice from other users.

many thanks
Paul
