Survey with shutter count and aperture block or shutter failure.

In mycase, I had the shutter problem when I started to make long astrophotography series as 30 or 40 (or more) shots of 30", 60" (or more) with K30 mounted on equatorial mount, never in daytime pictures...

In Germany we had a similar survey.

One member of the pentaxian forum had shutter failure on his K30.
14 month after the repair (change of aperture block) the same problem appeared again.

"sh.t happens"!

here is the link (for those who can read it)
