Background rendering looks good,
The circularhighlight bokeh is very nice but not been able to yet capture an image with it that is worthy.

I got this yesterday and have not been able to do anything but take some shots around the garden and of course with my willing models. It is not that heavy/large on the K1. Focussing is swift and silent. the first Pentax 50mm normal lens for 27 years, whats not to like.

. I now know how to figure out whether i need to adjust up or down. The basic question i have is HOW to make that adjustment. I see it on the C4 menu screen (#27 AF fine adjustment) but can't figure out how to move it + or - on the scale. The 4 way navigation bar moves the menu to #26 or #28. How do you make the lens adjustment?
Don't have your camera , but on my K1 you need to use the down button first, then use the right/left buttons to dial in correction.

Mov to the right + to correct back focus, or to the left - to correct front focus.

In which case, you'd simply set it back to default and you're back to square one, surely? No better - or worse - off than when you started.
You are correct of course. But call me old fashioned, I have always found it best to establish the actual fault first before attempting a fix.

Does the ks2 have af fine tune adjustments?
Yes, it has AF Adjustment. However, i am having trouble figuring out how to get it to work. The manual is no help and i am only finding online suggestions that i need to do the adjustment, but not how. Just need direction on the mechanics of moving it + or - on the scale. Pretty basic question, I know, but i need to figure this out or return the lens ASAP.

Any technical help out there? Thanks.
If you post a picture with exif intact, or do the Live View comparison, we may have more of an idea what may be the issue. If you start changing the autofocus fine adjustment without establishing what the problem is first, you may just make things worse.
