Originally posted by AussieTrev Thanks for your information. I went back and ran all the lens through again and I think I may have missed getting the K5 exactly level with the target, where as the K30 I did as it just needed slight tweaking the K5 was good with most of the lenses with a let less adjustment needed. Although reading the manual if you set the body adjustment first selecting OK then only selecting OK when setting the individual lens adjustment It should combine the two. I might be missing it altogether though, but I have no overall adjustment on the K5 and only individual adjustment for some of the lenses.
the one lens that I was worried about, the Sigma 105 macro was out a bit which could be attributed to it's fall.
Thanks again.
I apologize for the confusion.
Said another way: Pentax permits a twenty step (-10 to +10) AF micro-adjustment for up to 20 individual Pentax AF lenses, OR the same 20 steps globally for ALL Pentax AF lenses on a K-5... NOT both. For example, a +15 (ALL is set to +10 and +5 for the one lens) for a DA 70 Ltd is NOT permitted... It's either a common setting for ALL AF lenses, or an individual setting for one AF lens (20 max).
If you discover that fussing around with the AF micro-adjustment feature does not correct things to your satisfaction, you need to send the lens and camera to Pentax service so they can work their magic.
Finally, beware... some third party lenses respond to AF micro-adjustment, some do not. Pentax can't help you.
Cheers...
