Steven, Back when my K10D developed a missaligned mirror I was on the phone with a tech about it and he told me the K10D had memory to store AF settings for 5 individual lenses, and that if I sent in my (Pentax brand) lenses with the camera they would callibrate the camera to them. For some reason I can't remember right now I didn't want to put my Limiteds, FA 50 and FA 20 into a box going to Colorado, so I just sent the camera in by itself. I did ask the tech why Pentax didn't just release a firmware update to allow us to adjust lenses ourselves, even if it were just 5 (instead of the 20 the K20D provided). His reply was a polite version of "who the f**k knows why Pentax does what it does". I imagine Pentax doesn't want to cannibalised sales of future models, but guess what Pentax, I never upgraded to the K20D, or the K-7, and knowing that you could give us user AF adjust and decide not to do it, pisses me off a lot more than the money you've made by not updating the firmware.
