In the Pentax@PL link you shared, 21 respondents out of 68 total reported solenoid problems with the K-30, K-50, K-500, K-S1, K-S2, (K-70?). There was no breakdown by model except for member comments.
1. Yes, sorry, I checked it and couldn’t edit my post... (is ot even possile) there was 8 similar problems with only 4 confirmed as aperture control issue. First three of them appeared within one or two months as figured in „report” post.
2. Yes, the Polish survey was based on small group, but there is small group of pentax users in Poland in general. The survey took place during first few months after k70 release so there is small chance to register any problem with it.
Survey on this forum was sent to 5000 members but only 448 responded with 32% admitting to have aperture control issue. I know that this number may be far from real but basic survey methodology forbids to make assumption basing on non-respondents so it’s definetely not 2% neither.
Please lets leave it here, delete my post if you need to. I dont want to fight with everybody and make mess on this forum. Time will show how the problem was managed by pentax, hope there will be no problems at all in the future.

And please, at least try not to be rude when addresing to unknown person who is not rude to you, but just makes statement that you may not agree with.
Please leave it here, as I said: delete my post if forum hygene needs it and wait for any productive conversation instead.
