I've had focussing issues with my copy before. Apparently some internal contacts had become loose/soiled/unreliable, and that was affecting infinity focus somehow. Took it in for servicing and that fixed the issue. Clean your external contacts and if that doesn't help it may need servicing. Was the issue always there, or did it develop over time?

Well, if there were just such problems, the lens would not focus properly even in the LV mode. So, this is only and only the PDAF related issue. I have no experience with the back/front focus adjustment, actually the K-x doesn't even allow such adjustment. But you guys, who have such experience, can you explain how it works? Can you adjust back/front focusing independently for different focal lengths? It's possible that my K-x would back-focus with any other wide angle lens. Unfortunately I have no other such lens, so I can't verify this. Again, as this lens focuses perfectly in the LV mode, I am 100% convinced that the problem is in camera, i.e. in its PDAF unit.
