I would start by using a higher ISO so you can keep your shutter speed up. 1/125 is a bit on the slow side. You are using ISo 100, when you should be using 400 or 800.

Sounds too much to me. I ended up manually focussing my DA 16-50 most of the time.....with better results.

so before declaring him incompetent perhaps it would be better to find out those settings
I am so used to folk moaning on forums of all types these days that I give these kind of posts short shrift.

If he wants help i have lots of experience fine tuning lenses with the K-1, and have offered that help on many occasions.

If he wants to just gripe I have no time.

The k1 focusses perfectly, you are doing something wrong.
Wow, that's a bold statement, although unlikely it may just be a duff camera.
Indeed it may be. But without any information from the poster about what his settings are, and some images to diagnose, I have no idea.

The K-1 has been in production for 5 years now. If it had a general focussing issue I think it would be apparent by now.

The most common mistake is someone moves from an older camera to a 36MP sensor unit like the K1. They then look at the images at 100% and see that focus is off without realising it was just as inaccurate on their older camera.

There is a reason all manufacturers have AF adjustment menu items.
