The dot is still on the viewing screen without the lens...I was in my house when I changed the lens.
I should also add, that even when I tried to do some manual focusing, the fine focus ring was at its maximum and my image was still not in focus.

I bought my K200D with the Pentax 18-55 II kit lens. I wanted some more zoom capabilities but a versatile lens, so I just bought the Tamron 18-200 . Today was my first day using it and it did not focus nearly as well as my pentax DA. I tried both auto focus and manual focus and then I put my pentax lens back on and I could focus...it was a fairly macro shot. The Tamrom focuses fine for distance. So I'm wondering, should I expect poorer focus with the Tamron because it has a greater zoom or is it because it's the brand?
Also, Since changing my lenses I have a black dot in my viewfinder. It's not showing up on my images so I'm not sure where the dirt is. I tried wiping my viewfinder and using the camera's dust removal function.
TIA!
