Isolating Focus problems with the K5

[woodyspedden]

I think I must be a real oddity.:loco:

I'm the guy who sent back 5 copies of the Pentax 16-50
3 copies of the Nikon 17-55
. . . . and all my Sigma lenses have been fine.

I had AF problems with my Nikon D700 with areas of high contrast behind the subject.

But focusing with the K5 just seems to be okay . . . . . but perhaps it's the lenses I'm using?:

18-135 (75%)
100 WR (10%)
35 macro (10%)
60-250 (4%)
ZK 50 f1.4 (1%)

Or perhaps I'm just a very special and exclusive advocate of Sod's Law!
Sure, I do get the odd out of focus shot - but it's scarce, and I can do that with any camera.

I don't think you are an oddity at all. The only focus problems I have had is with the 31 FA. I think it needs AF tuning but I abhor having to use that so for now I am putting up with the occasional focus problem. My other lenses do not show any problems
