The pity is that it's in such beautiful condition...c'est la vie.
Before tearing it apart, check if the component is the same as the istDS. It is repairable. The component is a standard membrane switch. There are plenty of links on the web to repair the switch.

Pound for pound, Pentax offer the best bodies in their model class and some of the lenses, although not cheap, are the envy of other brands. Finally, as the old slogan goes, just hold a Pentax - the bodies really are designed by humans for humans.

Is this the old 55/1.8 (so 55mm = ~70mm on APS-C)?

Excuse my ignorance
Closer to 85mm than 70.

I hope someone might still be watching this post so I can get an understanding on something. I'm wondering if what is assumed here is that putting the multiple exposures together as suggested in this thread is done in a post editing program. The way some explanations are written it would lead me to think otherwise but this isn't possible to do in the camera is it?

Best regards
The k10d and gx10 have an in camera multiple exposure mode in digital. Later models have HDR which is also in camera.

my kr is still functioning perfectly even after my DIY fix... so far so good.
Electrical contact cleaner works well on the wheel, in this case on an istDS, and it evaporates fairly quickly so cannot do any damage. Switch off the camera and remove batteries before blasting!

My menagerie:

DA 40/2.8
FA 35/2
FA 135/2.8
Sigma 24/2.8AF (sloooow af)

As you can tell, I am not a fan of zooms - probably betraying my RF heritage.

Some really good work on the Morocco trip, especially the urban shots.

Good luck. I am thinking over a K7 or Kr as an upgrade from a K10d.
