Hard to tell without seeing them. Could it be an earthing issue?

Don't tell sebas77 that!

I've got a boot sale MG with it too. Sometimes it winds fine, sometimes it doesn't.

That would be a good idea and surely simple to implement as an option.

Have you checked your 28-105 for front/back focussing?
In any event, should a portrait be pin sharp? Views might differ with regards to that.

Ah right, not this then:



I agree if you pixel peep the image is slightly not sharp, though nothing serious. At a normal viewing distance you'd never notice. To me the ear looks to be the sharpest point. If you've pre-focused it could be accounted for by a very slight movement of yourself backwards. Possibly just an inch. Have you checked the lens for front/back focussing on the K-1? (I'm never quite sure which is which!)

PS I never look forward to browsing on Flikr of late. It used to be OK.

Think its just an advert.

All I see is a pair of jumping jean clad legs, no eyes and the cheeks I suspect are not those being referred to by others. Then something about ad free browsing. Obviously I'm seeing something different to everyone else. Do I need to subscribe to flikr to view it now?

Did you use the right email address: pentaxservice(at)jpss.co.uk ?

How did you get dust on the sensor, I can understand it happening with a DSLR, but an MX-1 ?! Seems you need to keep it in a case of some sort when its not being used.

As to the dust that's got in there, if its just one bit, maybe it'll dislodge itself with a bit more use.

Not the same issue but the process is described and you can see what to expect.
