Below the problem in video. Note that both lenses AF is spot on while using PDAF.
AF is impossible with 16-50 and CDAF even in more contrasty scenes, this is just an easy target, as I hadn't a tripod with me.

Thank you all for your replies but with the Tamron 17-50 which is a really similar lens I have no problems at all. CDAF is really fast and accurate! It seems I'm the only one facing this problem, so I will shoot you a video to show you the problem

It can't focus on a car's plate at 10 meters under sunlight...

Yes it's working with PDAF during live view, but is not a convenient way to focus...

Sdm is working just fine in both PDAF and CDAF in my K50 and in the sellers K3. Also perfect in my K5 when using focus through viewfinder. I don't think that's the case...

Hello fellow pentaxians

I have some weird behavior from my K-5

Live view is working perfectly in terms of AF accuracy with my tamron 17-50, 18-55 kit lens and tamron 70-300

I just bought a used Pentax 16-50 2.8 which is working perfectly in terms of AF accuracy with PDAF (zero AF microadjustment). It is also spot on in both PDAF and CDAF while used with my K-50

When I use it with live view in my k-5 it simple refuses to focus correctly in anything farther than a few meters. It hunts and it locks AF in some completely wrong place.
Any ideas (including tests on developers menu)? both lens(on K-50) and camera(with all other lenses) are working, it is just the combination that is not working...

PS: battery is fully charged
