Originally posted by lawsonstone So I've had a few days to test my K-S2 after getting it back from PC35 PhotoLab where I'd sent it to have my Aperture Control Block problem fixed. I sent the camera off on July 23, and received it back August 6. I consider that prompt service especially given they test the camera a few days after the repair.
I have shot about 250 pictures since receiving the camera, using 4 or 5 different lenses, and have not had one single dark frame. The camera feels like its "old self," the camera I have loved enthusiastically since I got it in 2015. It has gotten a lot of rough handling, exposure to water, dust, soft drink spills, high desert heat, just to name a few, and has performed well. The Aperture problem really upset me because I don't want to replace this camera yet, it's just too good of a fit for my lifestyle.
Anyhow, for now, with several days of testing, I can say for the moment the problem seems fixed and I am a happy camper.
Do you mind if I ask the price paid for the repair? My KS-2 has just begun this same problem
, but this is encouraging to hear! I'd love to get it repaired if it is economical.
