I'm using my K7, which normally serves as the backup. It's fine, but I have a dawn-to-disk three day magazine shoot coming up down in Columbus, Ohio. I really don't want to go with one camera. I should have registered for the Pentax pro service, but the application was a pain in the ass, requiring letters from editors and more. I could have done it, but didn't take the time. However, like you say, no repair should take six weeks, especially one for a current camera with a somewhat common malfunction.
