My K70 was the same, more of a creaking, and has now developed a very slight separation at the ’seam’ below the front control wheel. There isn’t a gap, just slightly raised where it used to be flush. This was a while back and hasn’t got any worse since.
Either it has had a knock that I am not aware of, or it could be a result of carrying the camera using a wrist strap putting extra strain on the grip - my 16-85 is heavy.

Hi!

I have this annoying creak on my k-70 too, exactly as you described right below the front control wheel.

how is yours now, still creaks? mine creaks even more than it did one months ago.

The heavier the lens, the more it creaks.

Best Regards

Adam
