Gray....thanks for the info. I will have a few glasses of wine and have a go at this thing. If this debug works I may to up my contribution to this forum; you guys have probably saved me quite a few dollars.
Cheers

Thanks all for your input.
I have one final question: if I go into debug mode and make an adjustment would I be able to correct that adjustment by subsequently entering the opposite entry ( ie if I originally changed autofocus by +120 could I subsequently change by -120 to bring camera back to original state).
If the answer to the above is affirmative I will attempt the fix myself.
Cheers, and thanks again for your input

Thanks for the response. Hopefully my K5 will eventually be "spot on"
I would sure like to avoid a $200 bill for repairs (+ shipping to Pentax) on something that could be done under warranty. That is why I am exploring a self fix. I probably will eventually end up biting the bullet and sending to Pentax and writing this off as a "caveat emptor" (buyer beware) experience.

I agree. I have, however, spent an inordinate amount of time using a variety of autofocus aids (moire, charts, batteries) and cannot get any of my lenses from DA40ltd to DA18-55 to achieve sharp focus with the K5. I have read, and re-read, the information on Pentax Forum and how to check auto focus. The same lenses with K20D are spot on using the same autofocus aids.

pkTether was new to me. I just spent the past little while searching the internet for info on pkTether. It sounds like it is possibly the way to adjust the internal focus calibration but frankly I am a little nervous about messing around with out some clear direction. Can you provide more info on how one would "download pkTether to fix it myself".

+10 but just to be sure I went back and checked and the setting needs to be greater than +10. According to the forum member I purchased from the camera is still under warranty until June 2013...there were a couple of issues not identified in the marketplace listing but unfortunately the seller will not communicate with me.

I have a focus problem on my K5 that a +10 normal fine adjustment will not fix. You say "the fix to reset the in-camera adjustment is not difficult" could you expand on this please. I am not the original owner and therefore have no warranty to fall back on. Thanks

Recently purchased K5 from this forum. Camera arrived with autofocus so far out that a +10 adjustment is not enough for any of my lenses (these same lenses on my K20D require either 0 or maximum +5 fine adjustment). As I am not the original owner I cannot get this fixed under warranty and the fellow pentax forum member I purchased from has gone into hiding. I have two questions that I hope forum members can help with. Note: I am from Canada so would use Pentax Canada but would welcome info from USA repair warranty depots experiences
.
(1) could anyone advise cost of having autofocus recalibrated (not the fine adjustment that can be done in camera but a tweak internally)? I emailed Pentax Canada 7 days ago but have received no answer to this question.
(2) is it difficult to recalibrate the autofocus...(again not talking about fine adjustment in "menu"). If anyone has done this I would be interested in hearing how or being directed to a thread that explains the same
Thanks

No experience with UPStrap wrecking shirts. I would, however, sacrifice, a shirt if it meant the strap/my camera is going to stay on my shoulder because the "grip is so good" (and it is very good

Frank...thanks for the info. This DA35mm/2.4 looks like good value....I have been looking for a prime between 28 and 50mm and this looks like an affordable choice.
