Originally posted by Zugzwang Lucky you. For me it was a 1/2 meter off.
yes there have been two or three members that have FF that bad..but just about everyone else is missing it by millimeters, Id have to say if you missing focus by half a metre or more, theres a serious misalignment with your body, and id send it back for a replacement, as I doubt any firmware update will sort it....
if its discovered that the new batch of K5.s are all clear from FF, then Ill be returning mine too, but at the moment Ill wait for a firmware fix..
I will add to my statement
that all the tests that Ive seen documented on this forum and others, is that the FF is a millimeter problem , rather than a 500 mm issue...and im talking about thorough testing, not the odd out of focus shot...
check out jolepp thread, i contacted him for his test sheet, and did the same test.
perhaps you could too, so we all know whats really happening here
