I haven't had chance to swap lenses but I will when I next see him.
Thanks for the help guys. I think its looking more and more like I should just buy another, better functioning body.

I compared my camera with a friend's fully functional ME Super, and my viewfinder seems cloudy and unclear compared to his. Even though in mine I can seem to get the image into what looks like focus, there is still a general cloudiness over the whole picture in the viewfinder.

The last 4 images in that set are the ones taken with the zoom. I was told by the previous owner that it was serviced in 2007 and not used much since.

Would that not affect the zoom lens as well though?
Thanks, will message it now.

Yeah pretty much. I focused a lot with the prism but I wouldn't have ignored the image as a whole. The shots look nothing like what I saw in the viewfinder. What I can't understand is why only this lens seems to do it.

Focus Problems - a set on Flickr <--- This photo set has the whole roll in it, the last four (filenames zoom1-4) are the ones taken with the zoom lens. I know some are unsuccessful for other reasons but most of them show the focusing problem.
Thanks Mareket. What would you suggest to avoid the problem?

Hi there. This is a bit of a beginners problem to be honest, but I'm having trouble tracking down what the problem is here.
I recently bought a Pentax ME Super with a 50mm1.7 Lens, and a Petri 80-200mm zoom lens. I got my first set of shots back (a lot of which were mainly to test out various configurations e.g. different lenses, different flash settings etc.). However there was a problem with my shots: all the shots that I had taken on the 50mm lens were badly out of focus. A couple had areas that were almost in focus, but most were completely out. However, all the shots I took with the zoom lens came out relatively sharp and definitely in focus.
The majority of shots on the 50mm lens were indoors without a flash and so I had the aperture almost or completely wide open for most of them. Is this where I am going wrong? I'm assuming the problem isn't the camera if the shots on the zoom lens are OK? I'm thinking that the problem is most likely me but i thought in a batch of 20 shots I would've at least got one close?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Tim
