Try some focus bracketing - focus fast until you see the red focus light, slow down, snap right when you see the first appearance of the green hexagon, focus all the way through to the 'end' of it's appearance, snap, focus back to about midway through it's appearance, snap. Do that several times, and find which images are spot-on sharp - after you determine that, you can always just shoot at that point in the green hexagon appearance.
Hopefully I described it OK...

Thank you.
I am using the green hexagon, and have tweaked around with the K10D debug mode to make sure the green hexagon comes at the right time. At f1.4 there is not much play with the green hexagon to bracket around it, and at times the focus lock is unreliable as in it never locking focus under room light.
This morning, of the few shots I've taken most are in focus.....I'll see whether this improves to almost all, as in my other lenses. My FA43/1.9 is on focus at least 99% of the time. (I know that's because the camera is doing it for me
...before someone else points that out to me....
)
I appreciate your help.
