Hi All,
Thanks for your feedback.
Yes I lived in the US back then when I bought the camera but now I am based in Montreal!
I was prepared to get it repaired in Canada originally for the 50$ surcharge but they said they could not do it, I had to send it to the US.
BTW the problem is the old "I turn both ways but I only increment one way" behavior
Two questions based on your comments:
1) How would one get the spray cleaner into the K5, it's famously weather sealed no? I am comfortable taking the camera apart if need be.
I assume such a simple fix (spray of cleaner) is what pentax did originally rather than replace a defective piece.
2) How would the Mastercard added year warranty work (I wonder if living in Canada will ruin my chances of that as well
- it's a tough country up here you know??)
Best regards all
Brett
