ursamajor et al, just a quick comment that
PhotoME doesn't work on Mac OS X or higher. For Mac, try something like
Phil Harvey's List EXIF Metadata. It's much the same as the Windows based PhotoME.
Also, I just fired off a couple of shots with natural lighting and tungsten and I may not know what to look for with FF, but they sure look as though they have the same focus point (using the dependable AA battery test shot). My new K-r is in the 38XXXXX series, so maybe that matters. Or I have the 18-55 II and perhaps that makes a difference contrasted with the DA-L kit or the WR, of this is a sample variation "good" model, or I don't know what I'm doing so didn't set the "comparison" correctly, or I shot at 55mm and it only kicks in a 18mm, or I used the wrong type of "tungsten" or they had metal reflectors instead of a translucent lamp shade, or...
If I could/would afford a K-5 with a DA 16-50 would it be a superior kit? Probably. But for around $700 I don't think anything on the market can touch the K-r. So I reiterate an earlier post here: this is the best IQ out-of-the-box camera/lens I've ever used. I'd suggest if your (collective) K-r isn't working right when you get it, send it back if possible and get a new one because there's a lot of like here.
