I didn't follow the other threads but is your camera still in warranty? If so I would send it in for adjustment. I would accept a -5 or +5 adjustment in the body but this is off by quite a bit which makes me think that it needs a re-adjustment of the focussing system. When I recently bought my B...

I feel really sorry for you. This is very unusual. Did you get new bodies or did they give you refurbished ones? I would demand a new body at this stage if it were refurbished ones. But shouldn't the images taken with manual focus be correct no matter where the focus adjustment is at? Focussing...

well to be honest i would get back on to srs and say that its out on all your lenses, and see what they say, In all honesty im at the point where i am seriously thinking of just sending everything back and just let them deal with it. Ive emailed Pentax for their thoughts and once i receive a reply ...

Hi Craig, sorry I've been out and only just got back. The one at -10 above looks OK. I use a K10D so I'm not sure about the K20D adjustments, but I understand that you can set one for each lens, so I would set that one to -10. It's very often the lenses that cause this adjustment to be necessary ...

It's probably worth recapping at this point just to ensure you have your camera set correctly before attempting these adjustments. First, print charts and read the author's , cut out the first 2 and fold them as shown. Set them on a flat surface. Your camera needs to be set as follows:- 1...

Macro Lens
Hi PentaxBabe, Cheeper ways of doing macro are:- extension tubes - see the shop on this site for cheep manual extension tubes Basicaly a tube which moves the lens away from the camera allowing the lens to focus closer. The longer the tube the greater the magnification. But unless you buy exp...

DAs Versus Kit
Usually by kit lens we intend the DA 18-55mm M I or II , so reading your first post, it was unclear as where you could find 70mm on an 18-55mm lens. Cameras are bundled with lenses to help buyers. They don't "come with lenses" - they are DSLR's and therefore could easily come with a 300mm lens in...

This a full photo of the DA35mm on f/2.8 his softest aperture This one at f/8 If you compare it to your photos you would say it's a completely differend lens. Are you really sure that your focus was correct?

DAs Versus Kit
Daniel, all of the primes are excellent lenses in day to day use, so I don't see why I would get rid of them. Look at the distortion free performance of the 15mm. Look at the full frame shot. You wouldn't be unhappy with that, would you? I'm not, anyway. Well, I was just comparing them to the result...

I completely agree with Daniel. What is astonishing to me is the fact that with your "Hasselblad, Nikon, Leics, professional days" - can consider these results acceptable. Surely your experience should tell you that a £400 lens SHOULD be sharper than that, and if it isn't then PROBABLY ther...

It helped me not loosing hope on my 50 f1.4, and 31 f1.8, and 100mm macro that all need some minimal adjustment, and I can look forward to buying the K7 that (like the K20) should have lens focus adjustment.... Can't wait!!

I am beginning to lose the will to live here! I am satisfied that the focus is not out. Both the kit lens at 35mm and the DA at 35mm were on auto-focus for these shots. If one is out, would the other not be? The phase detection focus unit is in the body, after all, not in the lens. I have sho...
