All the ones after 1790 are tight crops, the others are the full image. I suspect that it is out of alignment, I wonder what it would cost to repair? An actual real test with a real focus chart is probably the proper test. Probably using a flash to minimize blur from any camera motion. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
