Hi Pentax Members,
I have been a long time Canon Eos User. I purchased my first Pentax K5 IIS. On Ebay about a week ago. I need some help finding the shutter count on this camera body. I also purchased a 50-200 Pentax Lense. I also noticed its a complicated system more so then my Canon EOS .
Can any one help me with the shutter count? I guess it will take some time to understand all the functions.
many thanks
John

Hi John, and welcome to Pentax Forums.

There's a shutter count tool here.

Enjoy your time here and your new K-5IIs.

A new sensor? Unless it suffered damage by someone using inappropriate means of cleaning it, I can't see that would be likely!

All okay now. Camera all okay. May have been from harsh cleaning. No signs of camera being dropped or damaged. So far very pleased with Pentax. Just thinking about the K3 or full frame now...
Will add pictures soon.
Thanks
John.
