The k3 suits me just fine although I am thinking of buying the k3II for backup as far as the full frame goes I might buy a new lens but the APSC format works good enough for me.

The answer is easy The Pentax 640Z is a MEDIUM Format camera = bigger sensor.

I have never had a problem with that lens, but my 16-50 sometimes refuses to focus. Try cleaning the contacts on the lens using a soft pencil eraser this works for my 16-50mm.

I do not use manual focus lenses on my DSLR simply because I have a hard time focusing with them due to the smaller viewfinders. I still shoot with my MX film camera and with its brighter viewfinder its just natural and very easy to focus. There is nothing wrong with the older lenses some are in fact fantastic.

will not relevent to my problem i did try one of my old manual focus primes on the k-5 and with the large viewfinder manually focusing was super easy, much better than my kx wich i have found manually focusing to be hard for me.

talked to a pentax service rep, he said the prism was out of alighnment and that some times these things happen, ( nice young man ) and the response from my email to pentax was super quick. anyway I will have my replacement k-5 soon.

I will return this k-5 tommorow and get my money back it's unfortunate that pentax quality control is so poor. A brand new camera should work right out of the box. this has really pissed me off.

a brand new camera should not need adjustments. this is a engineering and quality control issue i expect better from pentax.
