is it possible to adjust this lens??? i think the problem is back-focussing.
i know a man who is very capable of solving technical problems. do you think he can handle it adjusting the settings of the k10d or lens????
thanks

Un fortuntely, i cant tell from the size of the photos you posted.

I have noticed on my 16-45 some BF issues at F4 and on, some, very close up subjects. Its fine on
normal shots.

It does look like a lousy copy to me, however I'd rather see something properly exposed before I give my judgment.

[hll]

i used spot metering for these shots and i used tripod.
i don't want to change the discussion topic but i think my k10d or my lenses don't meter the light
perfectly!!! ((
ok, let's forget that and discuss about the focus problem

[TomInJax]

I had to send my K10D in for a focus calibration. It had a backfocus issue, but only from about 40mm down. I noticed it the worst on my 31mm.

My advice is to borrow another camera body, preferably a different model like a K100D or *ist D or something. If it works fine on another camera, then you need to send your K10D in for calibration.

[hll]

yeah i can find k100d and istd.
tom, i have a question, if my k10d is not calibrated well, why do i have perfect photos from FA 50 1.7 or 18-55???? can you please eloborate on it??
thanks halil

[hll]

hey i tested my 16-45 with my friend's istd. the results are really fine to me.
so what should i do now??
do you think is it possible to calibrate my cam without having problems with my other lenses???
thanks

Sorry, you will have to send the body it to Pentax for calibration. There is a hack to do an adjustment, but I didn't want to chance it. If your nearest Pentax repair center is like the one in the US, you shouldn't be more than 2 weeks without your camera.

I cannot answer this question for you. I know what you are saying, because I had the same issue. All I know is that some lenses were off focus a little, and some were off focus a LOT! Pentax fixed it for me.

My K10D seemed to focus fine on the 18-55 kit lens, 50-135, and most others. But it was a bit off on the 35/2 and really far off on the 31 Ltd. I tried the 31 on another body (*ist DL) and the pictures were fine. When the K10D body came back from Pentax, the 31, 35, and all were working just fine.

Di you have to send in ant lenses. Pentax Canada says nothing wrong with my camera. But they also say if problem persists, which it is, to send in lenses it does it with.
