Re: K-S2 Aperture block failure repaired

So I had the same problem. Just did the repair and it seems to be working. Let's see for how long. The sanding part was tricky so i just sanded with 400 paper a bit.

Hard-to-find screws are:

2 on viewfinder

And those under the glued rubber.

Here is badly drawn sketch.

It was a very good idea to plug the screws in the paper because they all are different length. And would be very easy to misplace.

Before attempting the fix i got quoted 180 and 144 by 2 different companies (in uk) + i would have to organise delivery to the service center.

I have seen the whole pare on ebay between 7 and 11 pounds. Not sure if they are better byt i wouldn't fancy soldering job...

Hope it helps!

edit:

have been taking pictures all day and all worked fine untill i switched to manual focus.

it no longer works. have no idea. doen't matter if i switch to auto or manual it always stays in auto focu mode :/
