Considering very few actual updating item in 1.11 and the timing of it, I thought that one of the purposes of this update was to shut out the DIY AF point adjustment hack. Pentax apparently did not like it (service nightmare? :-). So, for that reason alone, it must be irreversible. I found quite a few people (including even some long time Pentax veterans) have been plagued by what they thought was the soft focus problem. After hacking, they all reported very sharp focus. This being the case, Pentax should allow users to adjust the focus point if Pentax cannot do it precisely at their factory. Maybe hacking would be a bit scary to them but can't this be done by software/menu? Canon did it in their recent 1Ds Mk III. Also, I thought that firmware is something burnt into a ROM of the camera CPU and not supposed to be easily manipulated back and forth, no?
