Sometime last night, Leonidas, on of our two cats, has thrown up a hairball. Not exactly newsworthy, you'd say.
Well, he's done so *after* having a copious meal and on my desk - right over my new K-7. And I've even been lucky as he missed the open laptop by a mere inch. When I discovered the mess this morning, it had krept into every nook and cranny of the camera and mostly dried. Nothing that could easily be wiped off with a damp cloth. So, exactly how waterproof is a K-7? Enough to clean it under running water? Hmmmm... Luckily, although the service department of Pentax in Hamburg, Germany, has been disbanded, a while ago, the former head of service is still with the company. I explained the case to him... "You don't have much choice, do you?" And no, he saw no problem with this. I'm glad to report that cat and camera are doing fine again. :-) Ralf -- Ralf R.
