With regards to focus - I noticed on a recent holiday that I have taken quite a lot of out of focus shots
Comment by punkrockemo posted on When to Upgrade K-X ? at 18/09/2012 - 22:50
I have the K-X and with constant string of new announcements often find myself tempted by the latest models, I always ask myself what do I want my camera to do that It cannot do and then do the latest cameras offer that. At moment all I personally find myself wanting is a quitter shutter and 100% viewfinder others may want other things.
I don’t think there has been huge increase in image quality since the K-X came out.
Personally I think new lenses are more rewarding.
Out of curiosity what focusing issues do you have?

Q Are there any plans of “de-crippling” the Pentax K mount so that lenses with aperture rings can be used outside of M mode, without having to stop down? In other words, will the aperture flange ever find its way onto a Pentax DSLR?
A It used to be that aperture was adjusted by aperture rings, but technologies have been development, and we think that aperture rings now have less importance to the user.
However, we understand also the importance of adjusting the aperture by the aperture ring. If the number of “voices” about this increases, we will plan to develop such a product. for me it all depends on how much it adds to the cost of the camera as i only have one lens that would benefit from it and the green button provides a work around for not having it.
Personally i think using the dial is more conveniant.
