When the thumbwheel on my DS became erratic, I simply sprayed it with some Radioshack lubricating tuner cleaner.I figured what the hell. It's already broken. It's worked fine ever since. I don't think that will work on a K!0D what with the weather sealing but it might work.

got the cost estimate for the repair: 310,45 euros!

My DS gave up after 4 years (rear thumbwheel erratic, repair too
expensive), the K10D, 4 1/2 years old, is now beyond economical repair,
my K-7 had been exchanged by the dealer and #2 needed a new trigger
button after less than a year, and I'm at my 4th K-5 and counting...

Is this just a strain of bad luck or is Pentax' quality really going
down the drain? Or is an average economic lifetime of a mere 4 1/2 years
for a DSLR a normal thing nowadays?
