I went to SRS yesterday to pick-up my repaired lens. They gave me a pile of Pentax-branded "merch": a leather briefcase, stress balls, sunglasses, never-ending pencils and a SD-USB adaptor. All very sad to see them clearing the store, but kind of them to give me some stuff.

Super set of photos. Some of those towards the end are a bit gruesome in a fun sort of way!

I never tried the K5iis but I feel the same way about the K-3iii. I cannot think of anything else I want of a camera. I also have never tired the A135/1.8 either which would be a fun lens to use. Nice photos by the way.

That was a bit of bad news to start the day. I've used them for all my new purchases for quite some time. Wish them all the best, but d***

It was tips on using the fine focus I was after. I rambled a bit in my original post, sorry. Is there a guide around for the best way to adjust fine focus when using a zoom lens?

Does anyone know of any good resources for adjusting the focus of the 16-50 on a K-3iii? Mine has terrible front focus and it's driving me nuts as I have had to bin too many photos. If I use live view and manually adjust the focus it can be as sharp as a sharp thing, but the AF is often out. The live view quick-shift is fine when I'm using a tripod but not viable for quicker photos. I did wonder if it was a problem with my new-to-me K-3iii but images with the 31 and 77 ltds are fine so I need to play around with the focus adjusting feature.

Thanks, Kris.

Now showing for me. Lovely images. Love the punchy BW processing.

....Binocular lens caps, the push on soft plastic type, seem to do a good job - the one I've just tried isn't quite as deep as the actual Pentax cap but does protect the lens. If you've got any of these lying around give them a try
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look.
