After reading all the posts here and researching for a year I too have ordered the Godox TT350-P. Found a deal on E-Bay for 2 heads w an x-pro trigger for a good price, should get them soon, waiting anxiously!

Got them!

I think I get your meaning but it was at 300 I was getting soft focus, I am using a K70 which will remember up to 20 lenses. I will try it and see how it goes, not difficult to go back to factory default, thanks for the input.

I would try US Camera, the original part that was replaced in my K-70 looks identical to this one and they say new parts added every day!Pentax 77860-G0100 Diaphragm Control Block | K-S2 | K-30 | K-50 | PartsUSCamera

What are you looking at getting repaired? I had my K-70 repaired by them for the aperture failure and they sent me back the original part, very satisfied with the service.

Of course you could always use the software that came with the camera "PDCU" or Pentax Digital Camera Utility made by Silkipix for Pentax, it too will process RAW although it is no where near as involved as some of the others!

Silkipix also produces some higher valued software for image processing as well. Products | SILKYPIX

Here is the link for the latest updates from Pentax for DCU5 : Digital Camera Utility 5 Update for Windows : Software Downloads | RICOH IMAGING

Something else to think about!

I can't answer for Ricoh, I can only say having used the K-70 since 2016 and suffering from an aperture failure I still think it is a mighty fine camera to own! Not professional grade but close to everything I will ever need in a camera, a big step forward from my first Pentax, an SP1000 back in the 70's oh yeah, screw mount!

I don't think the added "reliability " comment was needed, just the fact "it is a low price, entry level" camera and not intended for professional purposes would have sufficed, the K-70 gets a lot of misunderstanding IMHO and probably has a similar failure rate as other brands in this price point.

Just my opinion tho Sandy.

Just a little history lesson, WD40 was discovered by accident, it is a petroleum product and could be hazardous with use around cameras!

Yup, keep WD40 far FAR away from cameras.: Micro Four Thirds Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review

Too bad, I've had mine 3 years and not even 1 broken stitch! I guess it was too good to last and the price was way under the name brands.
