Thanks! Mine too of the bunch... In a way...
I posted on my way out to work. Here's the story.
I had put off doing the focus chart test and adjustment. Too many reasons but mostly wanted to see how it was without it (it just came back from Pentax, I figured they would dial it in pretty tight since that was the primary reason it was there) and although it was better it was not knock down holy smoke better. Then i found out about the new firmware upgrade... Got it all done this weekend around my remodeling of the apartment...
Took it out Sunday to do a test run. like a shooting arcade I shot at known hard to hit targets. chocked up the f/stop to 2.8 or wider depending on the lens. Those all came in! I could read signs; i could see detail; I could tell where the focus plain was...
Then Monday evening (I work Graveyard Shift) I was out doing chores and bringing the K20D out for another target testing run... I shot the shoes because I have an upcoming shoe product shoot! (Very excited) and I set her up so I focused on the toe of the further shoe so if the camera was still front focusing I'd see the effect on the other shoe. Focused right where I wanted it... Then I tried faces and leaves.... I have one of a sign where you can see it still front focuses a tad... But this is all so, so much better I am gushing.... Can't wait to go out shooting... Maybe something random this week but mostly it'll wait until the weekend...
Anyway. These are much more sharp. All with my 50mm...
Ciao and thanks so much for looking and the encouragement...
