Happy Camper checking in.

Returned the K-X with the black spot on the screen.
(Full refund.
-Three cheers for Amazon.com!)

Purchased K-X number two.
Arrived today.
Thanks to the Pentaxian Responders in this earlier thread, I now knew how to stop it down (f32 was all I could coax out of it) and look for snakes in the grass.
Nuthin' when compared to last time.

Okay, okay - One VERY small dot, upper left is all I could see, and that was really working to find it. Just not a factor.

FWIW- Went to "How to clean a sensor" school on line.
I'm on my own to keep it clean. But it arrived in excellent shape!

Thanks again.

Now get out there and show us some pics! Glad it worked well for you.

Per your suggestion.

From the front yard this morning...

K-X Kit 300mm zoom.
Cropped in camera.
It all works just like the book says.
