Should I be worried.
This might sound like a daft reply, but have you checked that the AF selector switch has not been knocked, or even the focus select point?

M42 adapter
I carry the 10-17mm around everywhere I go - its great for landscapes where you dont need to worry about straight lines and can focus within a few mm of the front element for unique macro shots - plus its so damn small especially when compared to the rectilinear wide angle zooms you mentioned, its s...

Cash Back on Km
In general it seems to take up to 4 weeks, sometimes less, sometimes longer.

Cash Back on Km
Others have reported 4-6 weeks I think. Are you talking about the current cashback offer (£50), or the one that finished at the end of January? (£30). Dan

Cash Back on Km
I am still waiting for my cash back from the end of January, I personally hand delivered the forms to Pentax in Langley at the beginning of February. Sent them an email yesterday but as yet no reply, thought the money would be paid quicker as I opted for it to be paid direct into my bank account.

Not a Successor for K20D...a new concept...
Already to late for that Gwyn, If they want to launch new models this year they are already almost finished with the final product probable. Pentax really doesn't launch so much models compared to other companies. In the film age the only thing that improved was the auto focus and the metering ...

Not a Successor for K20D...a new concept...
In the film age the only thing that improved was the auto focus and the metering now we have many more things because the sensor is in the body and the image needs to be processed of course. But in my opinion metering and AF are the things that need improvement at Pentax. The other day I was shoot...

New K20D....a question...it rattles...
Hi, Another SRS customer, VERY pleased with their service so far. The new K20D though rattles. When I hold it in one hand and just gently tip it back and forth, something inside the body is sliding back and forth also. I can not only hear it, but feel it. I removed the battery and it was still...

Initial impressions of K20D.....af seems poor.
Hi, These are just my very first impressions about the K20D....I was expecting the AF to be worse than the Canon 40D I have been using...but it seems quite a bit worse. I compared the 40D + EFS 60mm macro to the K20D + FA-D 50mm macro. The 40D always locks on focus to anything in any light, both ...

Initial impressions of K20D.....af seems poor.
Many professional reviews of Pentax DLSRs (including K20D) describe the AF as "fast and accurate". The fact that AF may be even better in other cameras is of no relevance to Pentax users who are happy with their cameras. Personally, I'm happy enough with Pentax's AF (when adjusted properly). AF i...

By the way, the multiple attempts to "lock focus" is actually the camera refining the focus rather than snapping to an instant decision. This makes it more accurate than it would be otherwise.

Initial impressions of K20D.....af seems poor.
I agree with iceblinker's assessment. Pentax AF is fine as far as I'm concerned - it snaps cleanly into focus on most subjects, hunts rarely, sometimes has a problem but then so do they all. The final fine adjustment manually via the manual focus ring is superb and makes use of AF in many close u...

Initial impressions of K20D.....af seems poor.
I've always found it to be very fast and accurate. The only lens I have that can take a while to find focus in low light is my Tamron 70-300, but that's usually because I've forgotten to put the focus limiter on. So it's got a huge range to cover. Even on a cloudy day it's usually almost instant. ...

Initial impressions of K20D.....af seems poor.
The 40D always locks on focus to anything in any light Any light? :? I have found the focus to be very accurate and reliable. But then I always specify which AF point to use, rather than using Auto. The original Pentax AF system uses a motor in the body that drives a pin in the lens to focus. ...

"The 40D always locks on focus to anything in any light" If unsure about Canon V Pentax focusing just ask the technicians at Sigma for there unbiased opinion. They have more problems with Canon than any other camera using their lenses, just because the 40D focuses fast does not mean it is accurat...

Initial impressions of K20D.....af seems poor.
Thanks for all the responses.. ...I always use manual focus point selection...I do not often use 'auto' anything...prefering to have as much control as possible. This was just my very first noticeable difference I found...I did expect some pros & cons...the same as any other camera. The reason I ...

Initial impressions of K20D.....af seems poor.
Just an observation and I'll add I've not used a Canon to compare but I can say that my K20D struggles a little with focus speed (and lock) compared with my E-510. Now it's not such a gulf as to be a problem but there is definitely a difference. Of all the K20D features this is probably one of t...

Initial impressions of K20D.....af seems poor.
I tried my mates D90 a few weeks ago and the focus speed and lock is incredible, the high iso is also pretty good .. but then I am comparing it to a K10D which is now a couple of years old at least. BUT .. the pictures looked so washed out, even compared to my K10D and I know the K20D is better in ...
