Re: K-S2 Aperture block failure repaired

Had the same problem, pictures nearly black. I was little hesitant about this job, but gave it a try and camera works fine so far. It actually was not so difficult, but you have to focus on what you are doing. I did lightly sandpaper this piece from all sides with 400 grit, did not use file as in the video. There did not seem to be any dirt on this piece, but it might have been some hard to see oxidation. Will see how long it lasts...
