Good point - sounds reasonable. I've just reached 'dangerous' camera age - we will see :)
Indeed, my camera doesn't collect much dust on the shelf - I hope that helps to avoid the problem.

Hi,
So as it has been mentioned, K-50 is prone to aperture mechanism failure but apart from that, it's a great camera. I've owned my K-50 for 3 years now, the shutter count is 15 000 and it's fine. Based on online tutorials, fixing the aperture mechanism is feasible as long as you have some basic DIY skills. As an amateur, I'm very satisfied with the camera and I don't think it will be a limitation to my photography anytime soon. Thus, I believe you should be absolutely fine with it. The lens seems to have a very useful range of focal lengths. Little dust is not a problem.
Yes, in Poland we pay through the nose for photo equipment, but what can you do... You can try to by abroad:)
