Be careful there are not many who know how to do this well.



Is it digital or film? This might make a difference as to who someone might recomend.

Is there not a self clean function on the sensor?



Check the book and also see if there are any upgrades from Pentax in case there is a format issue in the software (they come out on a regualr basis (knowing Canon)).



Before installing any upgrade make sure you have a fully charged battery



The lenses should prove less of a problem - worth checking out at a proper Pentax dealer rather than anyone else just in csae they damage the sensor and have to replace it

not sure where you are UK or TRNC, several photo mags advertise professional cleaning, if near London there is a firm at Elephant & Castle who charge about £20 to do it. If film the camera is not worth the bother, if digital then yes of course. If in TRNC, I understand tat Ismet's daughter is a professional photographer and she may be able to help, try contacting him for her details.



Oddly enough I posted a thread with aview for any camera clubs in TRNC last year and never got any responses. I am keen amatuer and based in Bogaz when visiting but never yet met anyone with the same passion to share a photo shoot with. Hope it gets sorted.
