Re: Water Damage to Exposure Meter

I believe that your camera was not sealed properly during the repair. Having taken Pentax DSLRs apart for repair, I noted that the seals are small and seem to be greased and are very difficult to reinstall correctly. I can see that it would be easy to get a misalignment of the seals. Getting the repair center to admit this seems a long shot, though you could ask. I used a K-5IIs through a tour of Niagra falls and despite being soaked in the mist, the camera performed, and continues to perform as intended by Pentax.

I'm thankful to still be able to...
