I think that you are right saying about the contacts. It would be great to know how are they constructed before I start to disassemble the camera body. Thanks for your advice.

Pentax K70 LCD replacement

Hi, maybe someone from this thread can help to solve my problem.
Problem:
Rear screen on my K-70 does not switch on when I start the camera. The problem is not new to me because it happened many times in last year. But now it looks like permanent problem. I think that the problem is with "sensors" that inform the body in witch position is the rear screen. Even if the screen was active, when turning it to the side and flipping, the image stayed upside down. Now the camera "thinks" that the screen is closed and facing the camera body all the time.
I would like to fix it but i do not know how this system works. Is it possible to trick it so the screen would be always on?

Thank you for your answer but I don't want to learn bad habits. I prefer to change flawed tool if it is not possible to modify it.

K-1 grip. Back AF button problem.

Hi.
I have a hard time on using back button AF with my K-1 and battery grip. Why they put AF button on the grip in totally different position than on the main body. When I switch my grip from horizontal to vertical position my finger lands on AE-L button. Then after adapting to vertical position AF button and than switching to horizontal position I keep pressing the green button. The design is wrong in this aspect (from mine point of view). But maybe there is a simple solution? Can I assign green button or AE-L button to act as an AF button?

Agree. If it existed I would buy this one instead of 15-30/2.8. I hope for 70-300, and new line of wr limiteds ;) with KP styled FF body.

In my opinion K-3 III needs new fast high quality lenses. 16-50/2.8 PLM and 50-135 with modern AF motor is a must have for this system. Going up market is the proper way. I hope we will see quite soon (in one year) FF body with new viewfinder and other features from K-3 III.

For stationary subjects current AF (not the one from K-3 III) is ok.

Better OVF is step in good direction. I hope next FF models also get that feature.
