Start with live view; if that does not give sharp pictures, there is more than likely something wrong with the lens. f/14 might be a bit much due to diffraction, try to open to f/11 or f/9.

If you can get good results that way, finetune the AF (as indicated before).

Thef14 was my immediate thought as a possible culprit here - even try it at f8 or wider. I have had some indifferent results from my copy and found that on occasion the wider aperture seems to come out sharper although it is counter-intuitive to getting a good DOF!

PS - have also used the in camera IS as opposed to the lens one as well and found it very good when shooting hand-held

Interesting that that UK wide that the K50 seems to be selling for less than the K50. I wonder why.

Que?
Great price for the K5ii though - an excellent camera!

I was thinking that if you just blew into the opening, the air might dislodge the spot if it is just an alien dust particle

Don't know if the sensor/ optics are sort of near the slide entry point, but it might be worth trying a rocket blower into the opening? (ie one with the filter for air intake so you don't simply blow more muck onto the sensor)

I agree with John Riley on how 'seeing it in the flesh' and displayed properly makes a difference. Some 'images' will still look naff (in my subjective opinion) - others will look great. Several images I have taken don't look anything special, but when enlarged really come to life. Back to the original image in question; I could imagine I would like it if I saw it 'in the flesh'. But $$$$ wise... another story!
