Take a look around here ... http://www.pentaximaging.com/support#!product-repairs (assuming you are in the USA ...)

You should send it in.

Maybe the sunshine, the blue skies and some nicer-than-usual compositions are playing their part, but these are the best samples from a compact I've seen on this site in a good while.

Sounds like you need to add a DP1M. Problem solved!

Superb!

I have all three of the 35 macro, the 40 and the 43. The 43 gets used the least. Yes, it has lovely smooth bokeh, but it lacks contrast wide open (it could use more modern coatings, I suppose), and...

You lost me at "China" ...

For me the K-01 and Q were big disappointments. I can honestly say that this  is the first Pentax product for a good while which has actually got legs. :-P

Congratulations to the young man. As a fellow engineering graduate myself (1985), and having worked in the UK, the Middle East and Asia for almost 30 years after graduation, I can only offer this...
