Re: Firmware 1.10 for K-r and K-5
I installed it last night, did a smoke test (turn camera on, no smoke comes out) and promptly forgot about it. Looking again the only difference I can see is the GPS menu and it's sub-menus. But the sub-menus may prove a challenge...

Re: Firmware 1.10 for K-r and K-5
I always upgrade the firmware. I figure there are probably a few tweaks in there that aren't mentioned in the description. It's never caused a problem, but I do wait a couple of weeks after announcement to make sure there's no complaint from the early adapters. i suspect the root of your autofocus problems is in your use of screw-drive lenses that were developed for earlier cameras. But that's just a guess.

I'd rather Pentax improved on AF performance of my camera, but that would be pretty much like beating a not living beast of burden...

Re: Firmware 1.10 for K-r and K-5
No, but I know this is exactly the kind of things Pentax did in the recent past. So I wouldn't be surprised. I have no other info (yet?) though. 2011/6/22 Boris Liberman bori...@gmail.com: Do you know something that we don't, Thibs???
