Yup turtle, I'm using the latest firmware which is 1.03. I didn really helped. I almost bought an Sigma 30mm f1.4 but after considering this AF issue, i would probably cease buying pentax mount lens and slowly switching to other systems. Sigh.
Really like the K5 but reliability issue + the amount I've invested in Pentax makes me think it's not worth it any more. The biggest culprit is the AF issue. Other stuff like slow SDM is the minor one.

I agree with all the above post you guys posted. I've used 50-135 f2.8 and FA50mm f1.4 lens with my K5 and it just frustrates me with the inconsistent AF issue. I've tried +10 AF adjustment and thought it worked the best. But once I change my shooting condition (ie other place and lighting) the AF is still not the sharpest and there are front focus & back focus issue.
Seriously, I'm considering of switching to other system such as Nikon or Canon. This is not the only body that i own that was plaque with this AF issue.
As for now, I use liveview to AF if my aperture is larger than 2.8. Just have to live with it for the moment.

Yup, what you say is true.
I have a 50mm f1.4 too. It's soft at f1.4 and purple fringing is quite bad at f1.4 especially in bright light. But once stopped down to f1.8, the IQ improve drastically.
And yeah, the AF is really quick especially with k5

How old was the lens? Does it need any fine AF adjustment with your Pentax camera?
