Thank you for listing these. One question:
Why can't I find them on your website like DA 40mm F2.8 Limited? What condition is it in?
Thank you.

I am looking for a Pentax DA 21mm F3.2 limited or a Pentax DA 70mm F2.4 in mint condition. If you are willing to sell either of them, please contact me.
Thank you.

Unfortunately, with the K10 the calibration affects all lenses, so you might now have to check the others. If they are off now, you might have to settle for some compromise.
Now I fully understand why Smeggy left it in debug mode permanently.

My version is 1.3
Create a text file called MODSET.TXT in the DCIM folder of your SD card that contains the following
[OPEN_DEBUG_MENU]......
I tried this afternoon. I can tell the txt file has to be written in windows (notepad) not MAC (text editor), or you can not enable debug mode. That was a good start
Then I followed your instructions to calibrate my AF, and +80um was the one for me. However, it is really hard to compare some adjacent settings. So I can't say I have got the best one. So normally how much error is acceptable, 20um?
Another question is do I have to do so for every single lens? Calibration is for camera itself or different lenses on the same camera?
Anyway, I have better AF on this lens. Awesome!
Thank you.

Adrian,
If you're still on the lookout, I might help with my copy of DA 70/2.4. I am too recent on the forum to send pm's, but if you send me one, I can give you the specifics.
Best,
Dirk
Instead, I am interested to take your lens in. I am also too new to send a message, so if you can send me the price and it's photos to [email protected] that would be great.
Thank you.
Peng

Can never understand why people use stock photos on Ebay auctions, especially photographic gear. Taking a few mins to do your own makes a lot of difference to the end price.

I just joined this forum, so here is a brief self-inroduction. My name is Peng living in UK, and I am an engineer. I purchased K10D three years ago, but haven't really used it a lot. So no wonder I am still a photography rookie- -! I want to improve my skill through this forum, and know many friends who also like Pentax and phtography
Here is just a simple hello.
Cheers!
Peng

I've had to calibrate the AF on my K10D in debug mode to get accurate AF with my lenses.
But the firmware of my K10D is 1.31, so how can I be in debug mode? I heard only with 1.1 right?
