This happened to me last night!

I was able to vote earlier today, I thought it was a Firefox problem at first, it's good to know it's not just me.

It's an old part of the Pentax software is 'catch in focus', if my memory is correct it goes back as far as the SF7 film camera!

Very useful it is too.

The drop off at the long end isn't always that obvious, if the aperture is kept around f8 the long end can be usable.

This sample is sharp as a pin and taken in bright sunlight at f6.3 1/500th.

I use a Sigma 18-200 on my K110 from time to time and find it a good travel lens.

As I do with my Tamron 18-250 on my K200.

If all you want to do is not change lenses on a trip they're fine, but the long end can suffer quality loss.

That's possible, although there are idiots out there that think any film camera is a 'rare' item and worth mega bucks.

I still think that the MV and MV1 are a point and shoot, but that hasn't stopped me using them and getting great results.

Taken with an MV1 on OOD Fomapan 400, hence the heavy grain.
