Re: Wrong focal length with DA 17-70mm
Thanks JoMac and Larry. So I see it's not so common, but it can happen. Dario -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I first noticed it as displaying the wrong f-stop. -- The fastest way to get your question answered on the net is to post the wrong answer.

Re: Wrong focal length with DA 17-70mm
Not on my version. Just ran a test for you, 10 focal lengths up to 70mm, then back down to 17mm. All showed up as advertised in the EXIF. But I do have dust on the first interior lens group of my DA 18-250mm, from the mess the dogs make while running around in the dog park. Guess I'll have to send it in to Pentax when it gets bad enough to cut my contrast.

Wrong focal length with DA 17-70mm
Hi all, I've used a DA 17-70mm which cannot communicate its proper focal length to my cameras (K10D and K20D) when set below 35mm. E.g.: at 17mm, it says 43mm. That's bad, both for flash coverage and IS. Is that fault common?
