I picked up a K2 myself a couple of weeks ago. It's not perfect (the hotshoe doesn't work - but the X contact does - and the mirror lock up switch is jammed) but the meter and everything else looks OK. Even the film speed dial can be made to move (but what was Pentax thinking with that design?). I'm looking forward to trying it out but initial impressions are that I like my KX better.
