K20D focus adjustment

2008-03-01 Thread Paul Stenquist
It's easy. I adjusted focus for my FA 50/1.4. It was definitely front focusing on this camera and required a -4 adjustment. The DA 50-200 was right on. Those are the only two lenses I've checked thus far. Paul -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net

Pentax Photo Lab processed shots may look less noisy, but they lose detail as well. If you saw the 1600 ISO shots I posted, I think you'd have to agree that they're coparable to ISO 400 K10D shots in terms of noise -- with no loss of detail. They're all ACR processed. I have never seen any
