Thanks folks.
It's interesting what you say about DOF being artificially small. That isnt going to help this effect. I get the problem with AF lenses in MF mode too. I'm pretty sure now its the focus screen being ever so slightly out, and theres nothing much I can do other than place some spacers of some sort against the screen. There was a weird U shaped spacer for the K100d which seemed to serve no purpose other than it had to be there for the focus to be right.
One would think that if Pentax can shake the sensor up, down and around for image stability, they could extend this to allow its horizontal distance to lens mount to be calibrated to exactly match the distance to screen. I can undertstand that such a movement would be of absolutely no benefit for image stability but if it fixed this kind of issue for MF it would be cheaper to do than improving their manufacturing tolerances.

I have recently upgraded from a K100D to a used K10D, and found the K10 AF was out. I corrected this by +100 using a Debug program I downloaded from the web, for v 1.3 firmware. Works a treat for AF.
However, I have 2 MF lenses, a Pentax 50/2 and a Kiron 28/2 which I can no longer use. If I focus correctly in the viewfinder, the results show backfocus every time.
Is there any tricks out there for overcoming this problem, other than stopping down or guessing at a compensation? Stopping down rather defeats the object of having these fast lenses as far as I am concerned. Suggestions gratefully received.
