K-7 Shutter Life

Hey guys - quick question;

I'm looking at buying a K-7 and if I buy it used, I want to know what amount of shutter actuations is still considered in a "good" or a "new"ish range. I've seen numbers all over the place, that still claim to be "new" so its confusing.

Thanks guys

The official shutter life is 100,000 actuations, although I bet that the true limit is well above that.

I'd say anything under 10,000 can be seen as fine.

Mine is 5 months old with 5000 shutter actions. I still consider it to be new...
I wouldn't buy one with more than 10.000 shutter actions since there are enough k7's out there

Mine has a count of over 40*000, no problem with the shutter. Was one of the very first ones too, so the later ones should be better if anything.
