The repair sheet didn't specify what exactly they found wrong. However, there are references on the web about wire or solder joint breakage between the lens' data ball socket contact and the attendant circuit under the lens mounting ring on the camera body. It does not appear to be a model related issue, reports of similar problems on cameras other than the Kx have been reported. My son's Kx has about 20K shutter activations.

Received the Kx back from Pentax repair (approximately 1 month). Repair form states "Repaired Mount Encoder Contact Circuit". The camera now works as new. I am glad I purchased an extended warranty when I bought the camera (2 additional years).

We just sent my son's KX for repair for the same reason. Additional problem was the camera always started up in Av mode, regardless where the control was set. If you go to the custom menu, C 22 and set it to allow manual aperture ring operation, the camera will work. The camera is not sensing the presence of an auto aperture lens, and therefore doesn't operate if C22 is set to "prohibited". We believe it to be a broken contact connection in the mounting ring on the camera.

For some reason the older Canon flashes won't work with external triggers like the Morris DS-1 or Vivitar SL-2 for more than one flash either. The flash probably wants to see a resetting voltage (bias voltage provided by a Canon camera) that a two pin connection can't provide.

I spend 350+ for a new Tamron 28-75 SP AF XR Di 2.8 lens, and there's one on your favorite auction site right now at 103.50 + shipping. Life just ain't fair.:mad:
