Mean time to failure, keep saying mean time to failure. If the shutter
is designed to fail on average at 50K actuations the bell curve will
have the failures bunch up at the mean value, but there will be
outliers. Sorry you got one. Actually sorry you got one on the wrong
end of the curve. The shutter's still mostly mechanical though, it
might just be dirt a CLA might fix the problem Maybe not that expensive
a fix.

My K10D's shutter seems to be on the way south... lots of
underexposures, some images all black and a few instances of "failing
curtain sync" with the bottom third of the image pitch black... and
the shutter has less than 20,000 actuations on it... that makes 3
lenses out of 4 defective at some point (one to the point of
replacement) plus a body that has seen some repairs and is now
readying to die prematurely - what is it with Pentax QC? I'm /this/
close to dumping all my stuff into the bay...
