It almost seems that they don't want us to repair our equipment.
Cameras are not the only consumer item not made for repair. Try to get a
coffee maker or other kitchen appliance repaired and you'll find the same
issue.
In optimizing design, repairability doesn't figure into the profitability
equation.

Subject: Precision Camera Repair.
It's beginning to look like I'm going to have to get my K-5 II repaired.
However none of the reviews of Precision that I've read on line gives me
warm fuzzy feelings. In fact I get the feeling that they're the same
A-holes, maybe even the very same, who made such a "good" impression on me
when I was selling cameras retail, forty years ago.
It doesn't seem reasonable to send the camera to them for a fixed fee of
$303.00, (I could drop it off, I suppose, and save the shipping, maybe.
Precision is headquartered, only about a 40 minute drive from me), but
then I might want to strangle someone and it might prove to be too easy to
do.
This is especially galling since KEH.com has a Bargain, K-5II in stock
that I could get for $285.00 with free shipping, and four times the
warranty.
It almost seems that they don't want us to repair our equipment.
