You can get the foam from a couple of places in the US. I think Micro Tools or some such. Unless you can send the camera to Norway, Pentax probably doesn't want to fix it, so you will either have a DYI or else a generic repair shop job. Having said this, my own experience with Pentax is such that the generic job is probably at least as good, if not better. The foam in front of the mirror is pretty important. Make sure it gets replaced. Fer sure William Robb
