This looks sharp to my 66 year old eyes. Regarding using tripods, I have one but rarely use it. I do occasionally use a monopod for outdoor shooting of distant birds. When I used my monopod or tripod I typically use a higher ISO depending on light conditions so I can use a higher shutter speed and turn the SR off. I noticed your shot of the daffodils was with a shutter speed of 1/60 which seems too slow for a telephoto lens. I tried to post some examples
of similar shots I recently took but for some reason I cannot get them to attach. You can try using higher ISO and faster shutter speed and turn SR off when you use a tripod and see if that helps.

It looks like the entire picture is out of focus I would think the camera/lens should have got some part of the picture in focus. Maybe motion blur from either tripod shake or wind blowing the flowers around. If you shot close up at 210mm there is not much depth of field

Do you have two Takumar F 70-200mm lenses? According to your post you used the same lens description on both the K-50 and K-7 bodies. Its odd that both camera bodies would be showing the same issue. Try a completely different lens and see if that works better. From what you posted the lens seems suspect to me. I once had a problem with a DA 17-70 zoom lens being out of focus on many shots on both my K-5 and K-3 bodies. I tried other lenses both screwdrive and in lens motor and had no problems on either camera. Long story shortened it was a failing SDM motor in the lens. A failed SDM is obviously not your issue but there could be a problem with the lens.
Also, does the autofocus work OK when not using the tripod?
