Originally posted by monochrome Inspired by your intrepid postings I ordered a Jon Goodman kit and replaced the door seals and mirror bumper on a K2. I've never tried this before.
The only challenges were removing the mirror bumper without dropping anything on the prism (stress! - got one, tiny hair in there) and needing a large magnifier on an armature to see what I was doing.
Like Jon says, go slow. No rush!
Light seals and mirror bumping foam replacement is pretty easy.
This is my 4th camera.
The first was the hardest - the Canon in the picture above.
Just follow his great instructions; you can't go wrong!
Pentax SLR's are a snap!
I use a magnifying desk lamp, too; it really helps.
If I get a speck of old foam goo on the glass I give it a short blast of compressed air; that cleans it up quick.
Keep a body cap on when not working on it.
