Thanks for the advise. I may have to look into fixing it. Not sure what to do if it doesn't work out. Some of the newer Pentax bodies seem to have a fair number of internet post citing various problems and poor customer support. Makes me a bit nervous about purchasing a newer body.

Hello, my K200 has developed a new issue... I picked up my camera today to find that I wasn't getting any metering info in the view finder. I thought that I had accidentally hit the mode button, which I didn't. The more I looked at it I realized that exposure comensation was set to -2 and auto ISO was on in manual mode. Upon trying to reset the camera and change modes, etc... I found that Manual mode is now Sensitivity mode, and Sv mode is still Sv mode. All modes seem to be stuck in auto ISO which I cant seem to get out of.
Does any one have any experience or ideas what might be going on?

Awesome... Love the auto correct thing.
SO, the camera is really the big issue? That is a real problem.
Is the K-3 or even the K-5ii or k-50 really significantly better in this regard?

Hello, I am somewhat new to Pentax, at least the digital world of Pentax. I have been using a K200D with legacy glass and started to believe that I needed auto focus for two reasons. 1) my favorite two subjects run around the house and are hard to catch with manual focus, 2) those lenses are a little difficult to focus accurately consistently. I recently purchased a 20-40 ltd ( about a year ago) and really like that lens for the most part, its pretty slow but very nice otherwise. The Autofocus seems pretty quick though I have had a few times where it hunts and wont focus at all, this isn't the norm.
So, in my hunt for a slightly longer lens to replace my 100/2.8 smc-m with, I have been considering a 77/1.8, 70/2.4, and at one time the 100/2.8 macro. I have pretty much settled on purchasing a 77/1.8. The 100/2.8 ended up off the list because its a macro and is a little slower in the auto focus speed department. However, a local store had one of those as well as an FA 50/1.7, so I looked at both. Both were REALLY slow and neither wanted to lock focus, except on stationary targets and even then the 100/2.8 needed a bit of assistance. The 50mm being the better of the two which I expected, but both lenses left me feeling like they weren't up to the task. I am seriously wondering if this is just an FA series lens thing or maybe these two lenses focus that slow...
MY real question is, how does the 77/1.8 compare with the 50/1.7 for auto focus speed? I know the 70/2.4 is supposed to faster, but not by much, than the 77. With what I was seeing yesterday, I am wondering if I am better off with manual focus glass, in which case it may be better to save up for the Ziess 85/1.4. I really hate to do that however.
Any suggestions/ input would be greatly appreciated.
