Yea, switch is seated correctly. Contacted SRS Microsystems today. They will replace the camera, so fair play to them. Fingers crossed the next one will be ok. Thanks for the reply.

I tried using my Sigma 105mm and 180mm macro lenses on my new K5 today. But the screw drive mechanism does not marry up correctly. All i get is a grinding noise when i try to focus. I've noticed that the drive does not protrude as much in comparison with my K10 & K20. Any one else had this problem ? At any rate, the camera has to go back. I just hope the replacement wont be the same... !
Cheers.
