. Finally if you're using the K-1 something has changed, where i could get amazingly accurate pinpoint focus with manual lenses on the K-3 and older bodies the K-1 seems to want to trigger early regardless of which direction you're focusing.
I.e. focusing from far results in BF and from near in FF?
Yes this is how it behaves
on static subject i went from getting most of my shots dead on to 2 out of 3 early triggers (using burst) before one that is appropriately in focus, For action photos i went from 2 of 3 in focus to 1 of 3 in focus after switching to the K-1.
Personal note:
By time I got tired in investigations like yours above and trying to setup adjustments or work arounds. For my kind of photography (mostly of personal and family use) I get around with simpler cameras. My old Pentax M , A and FA lenses don't require more than my K-5II - I think.
Mike, thanks for all your contributions and images of course.
