It seems to be quite common with this lens partly due to the low build quality. They do seem to eventually achieve good focus and the results are good.

Perfect for the Pentax FF.

Is the AF smooth on this or does it shudder/jerk sideways?

Try these K-5 settings. I assume the K-3 is similar.....

Free Cookies as well I'll have a quick read to see if anything interests me, although without any way of using a remote release (apart from a phone) I'm more interested in buying a camel

Mirrorless shipments in 2014 were only 25% of the IDC's 2012 prediction. Ouch!!!

They didn't increase on 2013 and had 7% of the market compared with 24% for DSLR's.

Japan only accounts for about 13% of all sales.

Apart from the overrated A6000 Sony aren't really selling much. The Q outsells them. I'm waiting for them to bring out a new mount that no lens in the world fits and they have no intention of making any. Make that 3 mounts

All of a sudden waterproofing doesn't matter and cameras that let dust straight onto the sensor via the lens release are ok

This years World Photography Award winners mostly use DSLR cameras.

It's on the 2nd graphic.....

The Q + K-01 series aren't shown under DSLR's and might have offset most of the 3% drop.

Even when the FF comes out it won't match the sales of the K-5 series.

Fallen from 7.5% three years ago to 4.5% now Nothing to cheer about

They need a K-3 replacement this year to stop further decline.
