Re: Pentax K50- Thoughts and Aperture Block Failure

I fixed both of my K-50 bodies on my own. It's not too difficult, but everything is rather tiny & annoying.

There is a temporary fix that might work for you.

^ Try that out. You might have to do it several times to get it to work. There is that option of running KAF4 lenses, but the cheapest one is the DA 55-300mm PLM. All the other ones are pricey. Manual aperture ring lenses are also another option.
