What exactly is the "front focus problem?" I performed the autofocus fine adjustment for the K-5 and all of my lenses. While some required minor adjustment, the K-5 came closer as-delivered than either my k20 or K-7. And those lenses that did require adjustment were pretty much split between front and rear focus tweaks. BTW, the two lenses that required the most adjustment were the FA 50/1.4 and the FA35/2. The DA* lenses were very close to dead-nuts right on. Paul
