Thanks a lot for this useful information. Meanwhile I was able to buy a non working MZ50 for only 7€ to take apart for spare-parts. Unfortunately, I would say when reading your recent post.
I don't think it is worth trying, when you already realized that it is very likely that the MZ50-Solenoid is too weak. Damn! So it looks like I will have to buy the 50€-part from Saarbrücken...

Hello from Germany,
after not using my K-50 (bought in Jan. 2014) for about half a year, I tried to take pictures of my son at an (for him) important event last weekend and failed because of the "dark picture problem". Very disappointing, and even more disappointing that it looks like Pentax doesn't provide a working solution (e.g. a new, working solenoid) for its customers.
I've been reading a lot during the last days about what to do and willing to try to repair my K-50 myself, once I find the way to buy the white solenoid at a reasonable price over here in Germany.
Thanks for all your effort in this forum (especially photogem) and all this useful information!
Best regards,
perlblau
