The problem is when you try to find a topic after 2 or 3 weeks, which you know had your answer And lets face it, the people who are most likely to have the answers and offer help are those who probably read the forums thoroughly anyway, and its not as if that many cries for help go unanswered already.
I now simply adapt google to only search on this forum, that works quite nice if you know what you're looking for

That's quite a saga. It appears from your description that it is AF that is in issue here, not focus per se were one to do that manually?
Also (knowing you had a K10 and K20), did you discover shims in those bodies as well?
It's certainly interesting (and I'll be checking mine later) but if I understand correctly, it is about manual focus. There are three 'light paths' through an AF SLR: to the sensor/film; to the focusing screen via the mirror; and to the AF sensors (vi semi-silvered beam splitters in the mirror). They all need to be the same length (+/- not very much at all it seems) so if the bottom face of the focusing screen isn't in the right position, MF will be out. I can imagine though that it wouldn't help AF adjustment - your eye would be telling you its OOF and the AF thinks it is (or vice versa); and both might actually be wrong (in different directions) in the worst case.G'Day Lance!

Basicly the Shims have only effect if you're using a focusing aid screen like a splitscreen, they need to be placed precisely at the right distance.
The standard screens don't have a focus aid so it won't do you much good besides that the focus bracket might look a bit sharper

so that lens we saw pictures of IS a wide angle, and from the last sentance probably wider than 35mm.[/quote]Yes, that's right. Seems they are going to make some good wide lenses first and then the tele.[quote="Pentax guy on LL"]Therefore we plan to release soon a new wide high-end lens that will complement our existing wide lineup and be able to fully realize the image quality potential of the sensor for wide applications.

Andy you need the turn them around the top is the bottom
The screw in the left here is the same as
The screw as the lower screw in the middle of the Flange.
So the one you're missing is the Digital info contact, on the right side of the arrow.

I know John and the rest of the team is doing a good job, I won't question that.
I'm trying to suggest that the general digital chat forum is too general because of another obvious place for some subjects.
For example, there is not really a place to discuss about locations and events maybe the PUF could extend the Local Groups and Meetings to a more general section that includes that?
It's never really busy in that section so there is room for that in there.
That's already some topics less in the General digital chat.
Filters are another one... I see why some place it under general digital photography but when you think about it, it's a bit out of place when people talk about Silkypix, computers, monitors, etc.
Maybe a General photography section to discuss things like; shooting stysles, laws concerning photography, filters might be an idea?
It would half the entries in the genereal digital photography chat section with some luck.

Yes John you are right, but is this also a place to discuss filters, laws, locations, light cubes/tents, shooting styles, a Paris panorama, k7 grip, general events, lens prices & pentax DA 70mm?
I'm not so sure they should be in this thread?

Colin I think it's working quite well it only gets a bit polluted with topics that are questionable where they should go.
You see a collection of topics that can go into the general chat like those over the new laws, I've no idea what's digital about them or does it not apply to film cameras?
And a topic about a K7 battery grip
Cokin filters
shooting styles
lens prices
Light cube
Paris Panorama
SRB-Griturn grad filters
Pentax smc DA 70mm f/2.4 Limited
2010 Events to Attend?
There was nothing I could do! He just wouldn't listen
shooting through glass
Incase anyone interested (about a location)
Far to various if you ask me

That's an idea, thank you Gareth.
Will do it all tomorrow and will let you know how the flash is.

i5 750 would run it very nice for a nice price.
As for the harddrive, why not an SSD drive and 2 drives of 1TB.
SSD is great for your programs, it startup very quickly and 1TB drives are less prone to malfunctions it seems than the bigger drives.
