have a reptation of being soft. In fact one user on
here used to swear by it wide open at the 500mm end.
(Search for PentaxAnne.... not sure of the spelling).
Edit:: Found her... most of these are 500mm wide open (I think)

a 400mm... so small. Very good in decent light at 400mm
and has very good colour/contrast at all settings.
The AF is quick but a bit noisy, but it's very easy
to focus manually. Very clear image in the K-5
viewfinder. Really sharp at the 80mm end as well.
I've still got mine or I'd be interested.

turn to 70mm and it will hit a stop... just apply a bit more
force to go past the stop into the green letters 'MACRO'
It allows focusing within the green letter area. To get
back to normal force it past 70mm towards 35mm.

The 35-70mm should do 0.25x which was good for the period.
A close focusing lens is probably better, but might not
be as good IQ wise.

on the PENTAX-F smc 28-80mm F3.5-4.5 it's quite sharp
and that's about as close as it goes although you can
still focus. It's at 80mm on that lens. Click to see it

to be so concerened about cameras with the same sized sensors
On my humble 1280 pixel wide display I can't see any difference
between a shot taken on a K10D and a K-5
