I just received my K-R this week which is my first DSRL (previously had film SLR). This is my first post here.
I had ordered the DA 40MM Limited new from a vendor from Amazon. To my surprise, the box was already opened with a sticker saying "Defect Desc: Lens Back Focuses".
This vendor was selling the lens $100 cheaper than elsewhere, but I'm still surprised they would outright be dishonest saying orginally that the lens was "New".
Anyway, I've posted some shots here. I think the lens looks good but would like some feedback.
To test the focussing, I took a slanted shot of the buttons on my microwave oven. Using spot focusssing, I had focussed on the 'Baked Potatoes' button, but the lens obviously seems to be foucussing a little more near on the 'Sensor Reheat'. My main question is whether or not the lens seems defective or is spot focussing not normally this precise where the issue is not too bad. I expect to use the lens for street photography.
The first photo on the Chiva (Colombia bus) was focussed on the banannas which seems fine to me...
