@dave's clichés: both of your replies are empty.... (or I don't see them)

Sorry I typed out a nice long letter and I don't know how but it got lost somehow must have taped the wrong button. Dave"s cliches PS will have another go later,I was miffed by it. Here I go again (shortened version)
Yes I understand your disappointment lots of money spent and now your thinking of selling and loosing more money to change makes.Briefly my story;bought a new K20 problem with sensor alignment(left side sharp right side blurred) lens fine on Samsung GX10! Sent back 3 times always returned the same,finally the shop gave me tel.no. of the service dept. and phoned "the nice man" sent another and it was OK.But I came to realise that ALL lenses need adjustment, Sigma 10-20mm 4.5/5.6 needs -10,tamron 17-50mm 2.8 needs -3, sigma 50-150mm 2.8 needs -6,pentax 50mm 1.4 needs -8, and carl zeiss jena 75-300mm 4.5/5.6 (see my blog on this lens and my experiences buying lenses) needs +10. All these lenses work fine on the samsung GX10 which has no such microadjustment!!!! This is not an adjustment for the odd "rogue" lens it's an adjustment for a poor AF system!! Still I must say that things are mostly OK now.I was thinking of a K5 but when buying the CZJ 75-300 the guy sent me RAW images,they were all backfocussed so I knew things hadn't changed much.Now I will wait to see what Ricoh brings to the table before dipping my hand into my pocket.Good luck and I hope things work out (see my blog on decentered lenses problems I think I prefer AF problems) Dave's clichés
