As refererence when i tested the K 5 i used my K 10D. In the same light conditions and same testing procedure by all means. The K 10D was not out of fokus. The K 5 was... So the K 5 has a various FF depending on light conditions.
I thought the K 5 with the high ISO-settings was a killer. Its something wrong with the AF-system. In low light it cannot focus ok. Why? The K 7 i borrowed for deeper testing as a second reference is also ok in low light conditions.
So the AF i K 5 is working ok as long as the light conditions is god. If not, out of fokus...

I have used Pentax cameras for many years and i think they are a god companion on the field.
I have taken hundreds and hundreds of pictures with K 5 and i am convinced that there is a serious problem with the AF. I have lost many good pictures because they are out of fokus and useless.
For me who bought this camera and very often working in low light the K 5 is more or less useless. The LV-mode is not a solution for me.

I am so sad, because the camera is a really winner ,,but without a working AF-system i have to say godbye and change system. So dear Pentax give me some explanation to hangup on or i am going to sell out my equipment.. i donīt want that but i need a system thats work, nothing else.
