Yep, there is even dust that will stick, no matter how hard you blow or wipe or use dust removal... And I have found over the years that more often than not, if you cntinue shooting youwill fine that after a while that annoying particle is indeed gone...
But there is no denying that there is an issue here. And an issue many will not often octive but a real "nono" for the macro shooters.
Originally posted by Bramela As for the percentages of the poll, speaking personally, I dismiss as totally misleading as a true indication.
"true"and "indication" is somewhat confusing here....
"true"as in "pentax, we have a problem" is 100% true, "true" as in percentage is not true....
"indication" suggests that there might be a problem but we know that there are bodies out there which do have a problem so no need for an indication...
PS, given the results of the poll by now I think we can assume that less than half of the K-5 bodies will show this problem, but with my "en of year purchasing luck", I am quite sure mine will have it..
