On 24/7/09, Ralf R. Radermacher, discombobulated, unleashed: >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. :-)
