Well it's no secret. I paid £325 for it. I gather from this comment you think that it's maybe performing below par?

Thanks for taking the time to take a look everyone.

No, it doesn't rattle.

The lens is a DA* 16-50. Apparently it tends to be out of focus in the top right hand side. It seems to me that its only aperture that's creating the out of focus area. Perhaps the guy that sold it has a problem with part of the sensor in his k5.

I also took a variety of square on shots of a brick wall and couldn't see any out of focus areas there either.

Hopefully, now I've mentioned where the problem supposedly lies, you still won't be able to see a problem.

Cheers

Oh, and these are all straight from camera.

Thanks

Ok, I recently bought this lens cheap with the understanding that there is a problem with focusing and that I would need to get it repaired.

I took the following shots this morning, hand held. I didnt worry too much about composition etc... I just wanted to take a variety of different shots to see if the problem would show.

Can any of you knowledgeable people point out the problem, because im struggling to see it. Please dont hesitate in telling me I must be blind, because I would like to get it sorted.

Thanks Everyone!!
