Re: K10D focus test shot
Did you use auto focus or manual focus. If you used auto focus all bets are off, the camera makes a decision. Now that could be tweaked in software, (I think anyway). If however you manually focused on the blue light and the yellow is in focus then you have a misaligned focusing screen, especially if your results are consistent. That is something that should never have left the factory. David J Brooks wrote: > http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=7024435 > > Focus point is on the blue light.

Re: K10D focus test shot
I did the quick and dirty 45 degree shot of text with the FA 50 at f1.4. With 12 point double spacing, the focus is best on the line above the chosen one. The chosen text is in acceptable focus, however. I can see cases where it could be a problem, but now that I know I'll be sure to check and maybe even" bracket focus" a bit after checking the screen.
