Each generation of Pentax cameras has seemed better than the previous in
regard to not requiring a lot of >adjustment.
Paul, so for a given lens, the adjustment varies according to the body its
mounted to ?

It varies.With the long lenses, I start by setting it for the mid range,
then check to see how accurate it is at the focal length I use most. With a
wide to mid range, it’s easiest to see differences in focus at the long end,
so I set it there, then check for the mid range. The DA* 16-50 needed a plus
4 adjustment. That would be enough to make it seem soft without correction,
and backfocus isn’t always easy to recognize in daily use. Most of my lenses
required no adjustment with the K3, so I’m going to recheck the DA* 16-50
after using it for a while, but I think I nailed it at plus 4. Each
generation of Pentax cameras has seemed better than the previous in regard
to not requiring a lot of adjustment.

Tested the new one and set the fine focus adjustment. I'm now good to
go. So I shot a clock. Like many other clocks it's inscribed "Tempus

Paul, how do you set the focus on your zoom lenses, check each end of
adjust for the middle.
