Originally posted by MagusAku It's been awhile; looking for guidance from fellow Pentaxians.
I got bored during lockdown/isolation, so I dusted off my k30 only to find it's blocked.
A combo of lazy, convenience, phone and go pro meant I barely used the k30 during its prime (<5k shutter count).
Photos are fine with my primes but I mainly record these days and all my wides are auto.
Any recommendation for a second hand body without running foul of the aperture block?
Probably cant justify dropping cash on a new body and now regretting selling my SMC A28mm after seeing these ebay listings.
K-5 or K-3 series don't seem to suffer this issue...
my suggestion on the K-30 is to get an OEM M42 adapter for it and build a Takumar collection...
