Re: my fix of the K-30 aperture problem without disassembly

I tried your aperture-problem fix and the immediate result was that it fixed the problem. Thank you.

Is there any information about the efficacy of this fix over the longer term, that is to say, is it temporary or will it last?

The reason I'm asking is that I'm considering upgrading my lenses and if, in fact, the camera is toast and it's just a matter of time before this fix will no longer work then I might choose to change systems now rather than later. And I'll certainly choose to NOT buy new lenses for it.

Has anybody had long-term success with this fix?

And, if anyone has had it repaired by Pentax or another repair service, what did it cost?

I'd appreciate your responses. Thank you.
