For what it's worth, it looks to me like the problem is more than just one
Norwegian user and a bunch of "me too's". For example, here's a thread over
at "pentaxforums.com" that highlights some of the issues.

400% screen magnifications
Determining and accepting quality issues is the problem. Negative
perceptions of image issues are often difficult to convey to others.
Especially those who are in a "prove it" position.
Blatant image or operational issues are a different matter.

A Norwegian guy reported to DPreview about uneven sharpness across the
frame. Sounded like some sort of collimation/calibration issue to me.
As you can expect from that lot, there were immediately others crying
that they too had the same issue.

Hello Mark,
I got the first one on the list, I believe, from my local dealer. It
has been just fine so can't comment on quality issues or Pentax
response. It is a great lens.

I think it's a Halo Effect thing. Specifically, if Pentax is viewed as a
viable "Professional Solution", the nimrods* of the world won't turn up
their noses and sniff that Pentax is not a Real Camera like a Nikon or
Canon. A few of them with more $$$ than sense will buy Pentax cameras.

Well it's kind of moot in this country, as we have no official Pentax
representation.
Ask a certain east coast .au PDML'er about Pentax support in this
country some time.
Hopefully they do deliver some "Pro" spec'ed equipment sometime soon.

That's not the important thing. What is important is that this move
suggests that Pentax does plan high end offerings. Whether these be K-
mount or 645 mount remains to be seen. But the pro service will be in
place and operating when the equipment is ready for market. So
service will no long

You might find that the problem is not Pentax USA but the parent Asahi Corp,
their lack of keeping Pentax USA and their other subsidiaries informed of the
direction they plan to take with future Pentax products. For example try finding
anything out about why the new AF360 Flash has never been bro
Check out the Pentax USA website if you want to see something that screams
amateur. Why can't they use the web to provide user manuals for all Pentax
products? Why can you check your MZ-S serial number on the Japanase site to

The Pentax 28-200 may be a Tamron Design but I think the Glass and SMC
coating is by Pentax.
