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. Pentax Norway has treated him seriously. I would expect Pentax USA to do the same.
