K-3II & Sigma 10-20mm F3.5

glee46 · 07-15-2015, 05:43 PM

I just got a Sigma 10-20mm F3.5. I noticed that "Lens Correction" is grayed out in settings (Camera # 2). Is this due to it being a Sigma? Or am I missing something?

Yup, lens corrections are only supported for DA, D FA, DA L, and FA Limited lenses.

Thanks. At least I can use Lightroom to fix some of it.

Lightroom will do lens corrections, but my Lightroom, or my K-3, misinterprets the lens as a 70-200mm HSM. Between the two of them they can't get my 18-35mm Art lens data correct, either.

LR has the correct profile for the 10-20mm f/3.5 (at least for me). You have to manually select it in the lens correction area though, then select which model of that lens (Pentax vs Nikon vs Canon, etc) to get it to work properly.

Sorry, I probably wasn't clear. It's that between the K3 and Lightroom, they don't know which lens is which. As long as I remember, or check the focal length (which is shown), I can assign the correct lens file. The annoyance is that Pentax lenses show up correctly, but Sigma do not.
