Hi List Members I just recently heard of the problem with the K-5 sensor stains. What a shame! Pentax launches a truely great new camera - with an exceptionally great sensor, that offers very low noice at relativly high ISO settings. And then the big draw back appeared - the sensors have stains! Arrghhh!!!!!!
I just ordered one from Germany (FotoKoch). It will probably arrive on Saturday or Monday. I really want this camera, 'cause I just hate using a flash outside the studio. And the K-7 had just too much noice (sold mine already). But what about the stains.... I hope my K-5 deosn't show this disease... Is it over - or still a major problem? How do I discover if there's a problem - by shooting a bright frame into the light/sky, or...? Regards Jens -- Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.
