I can't remember how long ago I bought my K50 but it finally succumbed to the Aperture Block problem.

I sent it to our Australian Distributor CR Kennedy and after all these years they repaired it free of charge and also freighted it back to me at no cost!

I cannot speak too highly of them. I will always buy Pentax and always from them you can't ask for more IMO

Here's the little offender -also returned.

Dean, if not you personally, but someone from your circle, who has some electronic training could take a closer look at that solenoid and to try to identify what possibly could be wrong with it. Because it looks so cute and innocent...
