In my 13 odd years of using Pentax equipment I hadn't had any failures. Then I had 2 within the last 12 months.
- The "S' button on my AF-540 FGZ flash unit died. The flash was exchanged for a new one. - The black 31mm Ltd. I recently purchased had to be exchanged because the "A" position had a bad connection. It would only communicate with the camera if you twisted the aperture ring and held it there. But on the whole I have no gripes.
