Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the istDS was a CCD sensor, the K-5 IIs is a CMOS sensor, more refined. jco On Wed, 18 Jul 2018 15:18:04 -0400, Darren Addy wrote: Congrats on the K-5IIs, J.C. An excellent choice. You are gonna be DELIGHTED with the images you get, compared to your istDS!

They also offered me a five year parts and labor warranty with no deductable for $32 which seems like a good deal on an electronic camera. Assuming the camera checks out ok when I get it, I just might take em up on that deal too. jco On Wed, 18 Jul 2018 12:24:25 -0400, Jack Davis wrote:

When I adjusted the focus on my K10D, I used the middle of the zoom range on my DA 16-45. I then checked both extremes of the zoom range on it, and on my 50-200, 10-17, and 24-90, and all were spot-on. Rick --- Paul Stenquist [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That's good information. I had wondered at

My gear came back from Pentax--K20D, DA* 16-50 and DA* 50-135. Turnaround was just over three weeks, but it took me nearly another full week to pick up the package after UPS messed up the delivery. I sent all this stuff in because on the K20D the DA* 16-50 would not autofocus to infinity at 16

That's good information. I had wondered at what focal length the focus adjustment should be set on zoom lenses. It's obvious that it wouldn't be absolutely consistent throughout the range. But I would hope it would always be close. My lenses seem to show only minor variation in this
