Perhaps you're MR> thinking of the film speed (ISO) setting? Hi Mark, no, the ISO speed dial is easy do disass and clean, very easy to DIY. I have had NO problems with so called problemous ISO dial on my K2DMD after a little disass. and cleaning of it. I mean the shutter speed dial, I find it rather hard to turn compared to other cameras. And that's after a CLA too (DIY <g>). And I felt it was hard to turn on other K2DMD and K2s I played with. OTOH, it's still MUCH easier to turn than dad's Nikon F dial, especially with the Photomic FTn... the darn thing's probably bigger than a 67 ;-) (heavier, for sure <g>). And the F's dial is IMPOSSIBLE to turn. Good light, Frantisek Vlcek - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
