Have you tried exchanging K-5 bodies to see if your current body is defective?
It's on the the "to do" list
My K-5 is one of the early models with stains and can be exchanged at any time. It's just that the stains haven't bothered me and it's not often that I shoot outside under conditions like above so was in no real hurry to have it replaced.
Originally posted by rfortson I've shot a couple of games with the K5 and I haven't noticed any shots like yours (yet). I'm not saying mine doesn't have a problem, just that I haven't encountered it yet. I'm wondering if it's a camera/lens combo issue. Do all your lenses do what the 300/2.8 did?
My first thought was that it was a camera/lens combo issue so I setup micro AF adjustments for this lens, (first time I've had to do it), but still something not quite right.
I haven't noticed issues with any other lenses but that could be because I'm typically shooting indoors or shooting scapes with an ultra-wide, or even macros with MF.
It's quite possible that it's an issue with this body though, (rather than all K-5's), as it also seemed to be immune to the lowlight focus issues under earlier firmwares that many others were experiencing. Maybe the two are tied together?
In any case, I might test a few other fast primes this weekend if the sun comes out and there's also a replacement body there when I get around to it.
Just thought I'd add my experience to this thread as it appears to be similar to the OP's. Even moreso that we're both from the same town and may have received stock from the same shipment.
bazz.
