Pavol, I know you didn't intend to put your question here on the list, but I will reply here for the general interest (?) of others who have already commented. 1. If there is a problem with lens or camera, they can be fairly easily and cheaply adjusted/repaired, or so people say. 2. If you

Just a point for the US Pentaxians. When you send your camera to Colorado, they renew the warranty for another year from the date of repair. If you send your camera in for a CLA or anything as simple as a sensor cleaning, you can keep the warranty going indefinitely. I'm tempted to, but
