Does anyone know how to access the engineers menu as I appear to be having a front focussing problem on my K100D Super?

Thanks for that everyone

I've just tried in silkypix at 25%, 30%, 40% & 50% and I'm still getting the same problem.

Being not very computer minded I am hoping someone can help.
When looking at photos on the copy of silkypix I got with my K100D super, I am noticing a sort of "jagged edge" to some straight lines like roofs or cables etc. At 100% they are not there, but when I want to look at the photo in full then there they are. Is there a setting or something I can change or must I put up with this?

Got my replacement Sigma 10-20mm from Devon Camera Centre today. What service! They only received mine on Monday. GREAT!
Anyway, here are a couple of test shots, comments on quality please. I am still not sure, but paranoid behaviour may be setting in.

I was out earlier today and was (unsuccesfully) trying to get some decent shots of some birdlife on a resevoir. I have a fairly heavy tripod, but the wind was so strong that a vibration was clearly noticeable in the view finder with my 500mm Tamron mirror lens. Would shake reduction work in these situations? I didn't think of it till after I left to come home

2X converters are a mixed bunch and can give very poor results. Often it is better to use a quality lens and just crop your pictures. I have a Tamron 500m mirror lens and a Tamron SP 2X converter, and the results are always better without it.

There are always lots of older Manual focus lenses for sale. If you learn how to use the camera with these they can save you a bundle! I have a limited budget and works for me!

Robby,
Have look at the Metz 480, a good comromise on power and cost

Chris,

Pentax would probably like you to think that so you buy a new one!
