Wide open it meters fine, the more you stop down the worse it gets. Thankfully, the histogram makes it easy to compensate.

I'd settle for the green button metering to be anywhere near accurate. It's usually several stops out (which as someone who used K-series lenses a great deal is a real PITA).

Which camera Kris ?

My K10D was very inaccurate, but the K1 is correct

K10D / K20D / K-3.

Well the sun shone down south which was nice. Saw the sons and the grandsons. Much whatsapping back and forth with the UK.
Just got back from the south to more rain.

Hope your in-laws are OK Kris. Friends of ours are under evacuation order for a wildfire in California. Not the best way to spend Christmas.

House didn't wash away so that's good but a tree came down on the main road taking out the power. 🙄 They are staying at the hotel until its restored.

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope the rain isn't as bad as in Woodstock, NY. My wife's family was evacuated in the night because the river is threatening to wash the house away.

Mine is working fine with almost 35,000 actuations since I got it new in October 2014. Hope you can get it fixed, they are great cameras and even though it is an "old model" it does everything I ask of it.

Sounds like the focusing screen has been knocked a little out of where it should be. I'd have a look, gently open the little brace that holds it in place and close it again to see if that helps.

I've have a look. I wonder if the old tool for opening the focus-screen tray will work with a K-3...

Hi.
I have had the same "fault", but it was a user fault, I had, chosen a a focuspoint that was not in the center.
I dont remember exatly how I did it. When you have all the focuspoints you can chose a point outside the center and then it will focus there.
Check where your focuspoint is.
Hope this can help you.

In this case this isn't the problem. I can select focus points fine, but they are slightly off where they should be. Thanks, Kris.
