But that doesn't prove the fault 'false'
You admitted you haven't been following this issue and also admitted you don't even own a K-5
Those of use who do own a K-5, have found the fault with the camera an have been following the issue closely have never claimed ALL k-5s have the problem.
Not all SDM lenses have been faulty either but the SDM fault is very real and widespread. I won a DA* 50-135 which works perfectly, but I would never try and minimised the SDM fault issue. Even a serial number database for the 16-50 was created on it's behalf in order to try and help the issue.
The K-5 has a low light front focus issue. Period. This has been proven both by the widespread reporting of such by people who actually own a k-5 AND by Falc's excellent testing.
I'm more than happy with my K-5. It surpasses my K20D and K10D in IQ on many levels and I'm almost ready to buy a 2nd K-5 body.
I just want the K-5's Low light front focussing fault fixed.
