What means did you use to contact Ricoh? I have tried email with no response. Sounds like it may have some promise. My hope is that they do a proper repair. I really don't want to go through this again in another 6 months or year.

One or two or three does constitute failed repairs does it not?


I understand the options. My confidence is not real high with any of the options.


It would be nice to see the issue properly addressed by Ricoh is all I am saying. I would pay full cost of repair if I knew it was going to be done right.


Ricoh makes it very difficult to contact them, even the thread here that was set up had to be shut off because they were overwhelmed. They certainly don't come across as having the best customer support.

K30 / K50 aperture issue

There needs to be a better way to support users affected by the aperture solenoid failure. At this point I have experienced the same issue reported by many others with underexposed pics. My K50 has just under 1000 shutter count. After hearing of previous failed repairs, I am not overly confident in sending my camera to Precision Camera for repair, but don't seem to have a lot of other options. There are a couple of others that have popped up that have specialized in this specific repair. That in itself tells me this is a much bigger problem that Pentax (Ricoh) really needs to step up and address.

Add me to the list of K50 owners with this problem. My wife gave me the camera for father's day 2014 and has a shutter count of right at 1000. Still trying to decide what route to take for repair.

Soon to be new k-50 owner here. Looks like there is a lot I can learn from here, and I look forward to it. My interests are cars, outdoor scenes, and anything else that may catch my eye.
