I replaced the focus screen in my K-X awhile back. It's been working fine - until yesterday.
While using the camera, the metal tray that holds the focus screen must have become unlatched, because the screen and metal shim fell out of it, into the body's interior.
Of course I was not at home when this happened. When I got home and tried to return the screen to the tray, the tray was locked in position (?) and I had a very hard time releasing it. Now, I cannot get the tray to lock when I have the screen inserted.
I think I must have screwed up the tray and its locking mechanism.
Can the tray be replaced? I've never had a camera repaired, so I'm not sure where to begin.
I live in Houston, Texas, and may be able to find a local repair shop. Or should I send it to Pentax???
Thanks,
Sandra
