Strange thing with the fa 77 and k-3

I just replaced my dead k-3 with a k3ll. My fa77 would not come close to reaching infinity focus on the k-3 but acts perfectly normal with the K3ll. Huh?? Not that I'm complaining!!!

Sounds like something wasn't right with that K-3... Great news that the lens works well with your K-3II, though

Thanks, Thats an understatement. It died 21/2 years ago and I brought it back to life. It worked normal with all other lenses until the camera died permanently a couple of weeks ago.
