Well, not $800, but a couple c-notes at least. Take it to a camera repair shop & call Pentax Repair and get quotes.
>>210549I find it extremely unlikely that you can notice this in your photos. Save your money.
>>210581Eh. I figured as much. Will do. Thanks /p/

>>210675Then you're fucked. Might as well throw that bitch away.
fungus doesn't look like that. I can tell from the microspores and having seen quite a few fungi in my life
does it show up in pictures? if not, then doesnt matter.
