Hi,
I wish to thank you all for your advice. After reading all of your comments and having cleaned the sensor on the K100D myself, I've decided to leave well enough alone. There is just one very small spot on my K20D and I was about to run the sensor cleaner so I won't do that until I absolutely need to. The K7 is clear at the moment so it's OK.
My problems originally occurred about four years ago when I was on Holidays and I dropped the camera (K100) onto the back seat of the car and it rolled. Didn't damage the camera, but dust went all over the sensor, which affected the images.
Cheers,
P.J.L.

Hi,
I've recently purchased a K20D to use with a Sigma 100-300 zoom lens. I find that when taking shots of small birds 300mm is a bit short, so I've purchased a Tokina 80-400mm zoom lens to use on the K20D. Has anyone used this combination? I haven't received it yet, not sure what to expect. My intention is to take pictures of birds and wildlife.
Cheers,
P.J.L.

Hi,
I'm from Australia and have been a Pentax user since my early 20's. My father gave me an early model Pentax with a clip on light meter (SV2) which I used until my early 40's. I had to upgrade to an MZ50 which had auto focus, my eyes were not good enough for a manual focus camera. Recently I entered the digital world and purchased a K100d, which I used for a few years, had problems with dust on the sensor. I cleaned the sensor myself, took a lot of effort to get rid of all the dust particles, after cleaning the sensor the camera went like a dream, very good results. I purchased a K7 last year, combined with a Tamron 18-200 zoom is giving me good results. Because of the dust problem with digital sensors I've decided to buy a K20 and use a Tokina 80-400mm zoom with that for birds & wild life. The lenses will remain permanently on each respective camera.
I've just been looking at the reviews for the Tokina lenses. Any information on them would be appreciated.
Regards,
P.J.L.
