Hi,
I just purchased a FA 50 1.4 from another pentaxforums member. It arrived today and I tried a few test shots. Despite the AF locking on quickly, I felt the images looked out of focus. I've taken a few focus test shots to check for FF & BF using the - 3 batteries on a 45 degree angle method and would like your opinion on the results.
All images taken wide open as suggested @ 1.4 at just over minimum focus distance. Using Av, center focus, SR off, all focus points the same and camera sitting flat on a table.
1st image with no focus adjustment - focus point the top of the middle battery at the letter R
Attachment 14842
2nd image with -5 adjustment - same focus
Attachment 14843
3rd image with -10 adjustment - same focus
Attachment 14844
From what I can see, the FA 50 needs to be at -10 focus adjustment...actually to me it looks like -12 would be best, but that's not possible!
Appreciate your feedback
Daz
