I am trying to sort out soft focus on my K-5 (especially with my 16-45/4 lens), and would appreciate some help.
I put my camera on a tripod, used the picket fence in our back yard as a target (with a card with an X sticking out), and shot repeated frames with 3 lenses (40/2.8 Ltd, DA 16-45, and DA 50-200) using live view (LV) or viewfinder (VF) autofocus. The focal length of the 16-45 was set at 34mm, and the 50-200 at 50mm. The results: 40/2.8: FF in LV, very slight FF with VF 16-45: FF in LV, BF with VF 50-200: on target with LV and VF Two questions: 1. I thought that the fine AF adjustment (via menu C4) did not affect Live View AF. Is that incorrect? 2. What the heck is going on with the 16-45?
