Both the 16-45mm and the 12-24mm perform very well. As for build quality, that is high in both cases. Yes, plastics are used, but they are high quality and appropriate where used, everything is finished superbly and in several years neither lens has let me down.

You can just upload your image into the forum and then you don't need to maintain it.

Title duly corrected.

Nothing there David, you must have failed to post for some reason.

Comment by johnriley posted on How much would you pay for this? at 28/04/2015 - 20:12

My personal experience is that they repaired my K10D absolutely fine and costs were reasonable. Reasonable, of course, is in the eye of the beholder.

Why not send the items, asking for a quote? Don't forget to join PU Plus and download the discount order form.

One good reason for PU Plus membership - 20% discount from the official repair house, JPS.

We're in danger of going round in circles with this. Rather than start a new thread, continuing the existing one would have built upon what we know so far.

Ultimately, if you're not happy then returning lens and camera body to JPS would enable them to calibrate them together for you, and/or fix anything that's wrong.

You should expect sharp images.

I think you need to show us, otherwise making a judgement is very difficult. Using centre-point focus, I'd like to see a shot of something flat that shows detail, at a range of apertures.

I'm not sure yet whether or not you have a misalignment, or whether it's just not the best sort of image to judge by.

You've used quite a wide aperture, f/3.2, and focus is sharp on the dog's face. The large out of focus areas are simply outside the depth of field.

As far as I can tell from this small image, the shot is sharp.

Have I missed something specific about the K-S2 one?

No, but it's a feature worth highlighting as it's a much better experience than even most other DSLR viewfinders. I'm delighted that Pentax have kept with this as it's a more expensive option than the pentamirror and possibly even the EVF.
