I think focusing screen misalignment is most likely. I would do some more tests
and then visit Pentax.
I'm an LX user and when I handle digital SLRs I'm struck at how poor and small
the viewfinder images are. They are not like the glorious optical instruments
of the past and I reckon it's
(That's an analogy from a quaint analog device called
a tape recorder. When everything is digital, will we
use digalogies instead of analogies?)
Anyway...
My recollection was that the autofocused and manually
focused images were sharp in the finder but blurry on
film. Thus, the focusing screen
Maybe there is a different path from lens to AF and to MF? There is,
but they both have to go through the focusing screen don't they? So I'm
thinking I must be having vision issues. I blurred up several nice
shots the other day in a theatre production that had to use MF because
AF would

Af has nothing to do with the focusing screen, except for the display of
which sensor is being used.

In any case, it would seem that the camera needs to
take a trip to a Pentax facility.
Indeed, whatever the cause of the problem, this is likely the
best course of action.

I need some help with my *istD. For the longest time, I've been having
problems with my pics being quite soft wide open. I thought that it was
just because the lens was wide open. I have alot of manual focus
I'm not sure if there could be a technical reason for the discrepancy between
focus and autofocus. Perhaps it could be the result of an incorrect diopter
adjustment and a near-sighted or far-sighted eye? In regard to exposure, I
generally set my *istD to overexpose by half a stop. That yields a

I'm not quite sure if near or farsightedness neither diopter adjustment
plays a role. I made up a thread with a very similar problem, and my
thoughts led me to the idea that focussing is always done on the
viewfinder screen, and diopter adjustment just makes me see the screen

Since the subject of list reliability has come up lately I'd like to
note that I received both you first post and this one.

A friend of mine had a similar issue with his Canon 10D. His
manually focused exposures were never quite on the money, but AF
exposures were bang on target. After a suitable and similar
round of measurebating, he concluded that the focusing screen
was in need of shimming ... It was representing a
