The uneven focus on some DA* 16-50 lenses is a manufacturing defect that plagued some early samples of this lens. I don't know if it can be fixed. You should have returned it to the store where you bought it. Hopefully, Pentax will replace it. Paul On Jun 4, 2008, at 12:13 AM, Mark Erickson

I hate to be a buzzkill, but I sent an FA* 300mm F4.5 lens back to Colorado for repair a few years ago. It came back to me horrible mis-calibrated (blurry at all apertures), so I sent it back. The second time I got it back it was dialed in and very sharp. I sent my DA* 16-50 back this spring
