Pentax Digital Spotmeter Screw Size

[eric black]

Any chance that a forum member might happen to know the size of the screws that hold the ASA dial ring in place? There are 3 screws there and I'm now down to 1- the little buggers keep falling out and I keep forgetting my vow to use Lok-tite on them.

Size? Small! I've got and always have the same problem!

I believe, to the best of my recollection, that they are 4-40 flat head (I could be wrong). Most hardware stores carry a selection of miniature screws and will have what you need.

Another place to check would be a gunsmith.

I'm glad I don't have any screws loose. ;-)

I got the exact same problem. I have just been using mine without. But if somebody finds it please fill me in.

me too! i just do not use the dial anymore. the little arrow lines up wit hthe correct film speed. just pay close attention and it becomes very easy.

I had similar screw losses -- I wrote Pentax Imaging, and their reply was to call their Repair Parts Department at (800) 877-0155. Ultimately, they sent me several of the screws free of charge.
