So it happened. My K50 after nearly 4 years and 4,000 shots has succumbed. I don't think I'll be getting it fixed (or fixing it myself - too clumsy). The K50 was great, a weather-sealed body and lens, important in this climate, at an affordable price. I don't trust a K70 because of the same issue, so what next?

What have other people done?

If you have a lens with an aperture ring, you can use Manual mode on the camera, set the aperture with the aperture ring, then press the green button for setting the shutter speed.  It's a bit cumbersome, but you can still use the camera until you decide what's next camera wise.
