I think you quoted the wrong person, because anybody who knows me in this forum knows that I have a K5 as well as a K3.
DXO to me is not very interesting.
Originally posted by punk_rachmoninov try to repair the k50 by actually taking it to an authorized repair center and having them replace the part.
I would not recommend this because hitherto all repaired K50/30/500's which I had the chance to inspect had the same cheap green China solenoid
again. And this was the very reason why those bodys failed again.
I would only bring it to an authorized repair center if they can guarantee me that the solenoid they use is the white made in Japan one.
