Looking at the EXIF data of an image taken with the 180mm EX DG IF Macro using PhotoMe, I get:-
Lens ID 3 + 0 + 0
Pentax Lens Type - F, FA or DA
Lens Names (of the ID) - Sigma (Model Unknown)

So I guess the K20D is not going to solve my problem where the Sigma lenses are concerned, only the Pentax Lenses.

Thanks for your replies. I was rather hoping that some K20D owners might have a similar kit list and have gone through the focus adjustments on a per lens basis.

Maybe I'll have to be the first then

Now where did I put Chris's phone number . . .

I just received this message from the webdev team:-

I've also asked for the return of the "You have a new message" pop-up box.

It's unlikely that you will achieve maximum battery life after only one charge. After a few discharge/charge cycles, you can expect a longer battery life.

On my (calibrated) monitor, your shots look a tad dark Danny. Slight underexposure I think. Good first effort though, well done.

Does anybody here have a K20D and a number of non-Pentax AF lenses?

I have only Pentax and Sigma lenses. I'm interested to know if the focus adjustment for non-Pentax lenses is stored on a per lens basis.

I ask because I regularly use my Sigma 70-300mm APO, 135-400mm APO, and 180mm EX DG Macro lenses, but Lightroom reports these lenses simply as "Sigma", without the detail to identify each lens. EG: If I were to take images with all three lenses set at 180mm, in Lightroom, I can't tell which lens was used from the EXIF info.

This may simply be a Sigma/Lightroom issue, but if the data required to differentiate between Sigma lenses is missing, can the K20D recognise the difference and store focus adjustment settings accordingly?

I think the web developers have gone home. Not much has changed recently that I can tell. I posted a report at the end of July and as yet have had no response.

I've posted another today, we'll see what happens.

EDIT: Well the web team are still working and I got a message to say that the 20 minute window for editing posts has been removed. This edit confirms that it works.

Thanks to the web team.

Enjoy, I will when I get mine. I'm p****d off with the focussing issue with K10D, K20D seems the only option (unless Matt comes up with a global fixall very soon).

I'll bet, as soon as I've got a K20D, Pentax will release a firmware update for the K10D . . . not.

Personally, I've found 'Exposure Blending' in Photomatix Pro 3 produces superior results to HDR + Tone Mapping.

Anybody tried it?

Chris swapped my DA* 16-50mm too, some time ago. Trouble is, the replacement has exactly the same problem as yours, and the one I swapped it for. I'm not too happy with this lens at the moment, it's quite unreliable.

I'm glad your wedding shoot went well.
