I also had the aperture block failure, but found a fix. I had obtained some Lithium ion AA rechargeable batteries for a flash, so I tried them in the K50. Has worked perfectly with them. Still doesn't work with the original battery, but has not had one bobble with the lipo aa's.

What brand? And how much? Do you need a special charger for them?

I am stuck using AA batteries with my Pentax ist DS and Pentax K100d.

And my cameras don't seem to like newer (> 2300 mAH) NiMH rechargeables, so I've been stuck for years using older 1700 mAH NiMH rechargeables.

But I'm just wondering where to go next to keep these cameras going.

Take care & Happy Shooting!
