Any of you guys with a K-5 experiencing any of this?

Maybe you K-7 owners could take a look too. No need to transfer test
images to the computer, the blobs can be seen on the LCD.
Would be interested in hearing from all of you.
No problem with my K-5. It was a recent purchase (Amazon on Black Friday) so it's not
from the early batches which seem to show this "issue".
The hysteria in the DPR Pentax Forum would be entertaining if it were not so sad for
Pentax to have yet another Internet-fed "issue" to contend with. For heaven's
sake, consumer products do sometimes have issues, and the best response is to exchange or
repair under warranty, not to scream about it to high heaven in an Internet forum. Of
course, the usual trolls have come out from under their bridges to fan the flames...

I wouldn't even worry, they look like freekin' dust spots. I get them
all the time on the K20D and *ist Ds. The clean off with either the
sensor shake method or a blast of air. The worst thing is these are a
manufacturing defect on the interior surface of the AA filter. If it's
within the warranty period there should be no problem having Pentax
repair the problem. Even if it were out of warranty I would expect
Pentax to fix it for free since I doubt that they would think you
actually disassembled the K-5 to put some dust on the sensor.
