I knew I was pushing it at the time. Problem didn't show up until four days after the rain forest trek. A narrow, yellowish, vertical line in the rear LCD. Another three days till I got back to the states in which the camera was still working. Two days more until I had time to drive to Portland and hand it over to Advance Camera Repair. By that time the corrosion had spread fairly significantly and camera wouldn't even turn on. They offered to do their best to repair it but it wouldn't be cheap and they could not guaranty it wouldn't come back. Decided I'd just take the hit monetarily and wait for the K-3ii successor. Crossing my fingers that Ricoh puts one out and the K-50 doesn't come down with aperture block failure.
Here's to living and learning. Even at 58 years old.
