Hi Blende8,

A while ago you posted a response to this problem

Play with my K10D today and pushed the diaphragm release to one side

I have the same problem - the daiphragm actuator spring has become dislodged - I have followed your advice but cannot see the pin/spring. Somehow it must have gone right inside the camera body. Do you have any other ideas how I may be albe to fix this.

Any help would be greatly apreciated,

Jim
