Re: K-S2 Aperture block failure repaired

Because not all K30/50 suffer this problem could it be that some of the core castings have ragged ends that are binding?

If this were true however you would think it would happen at the start and not through mid life?

Thinking further the blackouts are caused by the core fully retracting and closing down the aperture so maybe it is a build up of magnetism?

When my friends started doing it the camera would come good after the the first 4 shots or so until turned off which suggests the opposite?

All very curious?
