The lens type "plm" or "manual" doesn't matter it is the shutter that fails and it is in the camera body that actuates the shutter & the aperture, which is the way I understand it.

I made a viewfinder cover from a coffee can plastic lid, perhaps you could make one for your lens hood!

Quick question, are you copying files from the "SD" cards or moving the files?
My understanding is that moving them deletes the original from the card and moves it to the computer drive, thus your card is left blank. How to Copy or Move Files and Folders on Windows 10 |

Without going into a long diatribe with my "opinion" I would suggest you think about what you are wanting to shoot and then just research those lenses that fit the bill! Here is a good reference point to start. Lens Reviews | PentaxForums.com Reviews |

Just a quick question Steve,
Did you put this up on the forums review section? Excellent post, I have 2 TT350P & the Xpro-p trigger! Although I am not using them enough to warrant having them, they work OK with rechargeables as well!

Hi iGlad, my K-70 failed just under 5k, Sun Camera replaced the diaphram control block for under $250 Canadian. If you have any technical skills the procedure documented by Photogem is excellent, I uploaded it as a pdf to Mediafire if you choose! Link here K70 Repair Tutorial Photogem

Too bad it couldn't have just been put on a memory card shipped with the body and then rewritten as needed!

The parts are relatively inexpensive but labour is to be expected, always the DIY option!

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. Sun Camera Service Ltd. - Repair Process |

As far as I know, Sun Camera Service in Toronto is the only Pentax authorized repair facility in Canada, others may send it out if it is a warranty issue! Sun Camera Service Ltd. - Home |

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

Something else to think about!
