I thought the 55-300WR I bought a couple months ago would be the last purchase for a while. How wrong I was. Last weekend I popped the SD card out of the K-5, copied the files to my desktop and when I tried to put the card back in the camera it wouldn't latch in place. Tried several different cards...same result. I wouldn't have felt as bad if the sensor had failed. At any rate, Precision Camera wanted $206.50 (labor) plus parts to do the repair. Thinking I might be spending $300-400 to repair a several generations old camera I went to Adorama and B&H in search of a replacement that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. A K-3 with a BG-3 grip for $749 should arrive tomorrow. -p -- Being old doesn't seem so old now that I'm old. -- Being old doesn't seem so old now that I'm old. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
