Hello Friends,
Thanking you for the great advise. I need your help again.
Took the delivery of Pentax K3ii and Samyang 14mm f/2.8 lens has arrived.
First impression of Pentax K3ii is.... a solid built camera. Impressive. Also love the noise of shutter release button
.
First impression of Samyang 14mm is... Heavy lens. build quality looks good
.
Now i want to check both these items are performing well. Before i take them on overseas tour. So arrived early today from office. Follow the instructions came with Samyang lens.
- Pentax K3ii - Focus is set to Manual focus
- Dial is set to Av priority
- Samyang lens - Aperture ring is set on A
- In Pentax K3ii menu option; disable the use of Lens Aperture ring. (By default it is disable)
- Mounted the lens (It took longtime to find a orange dot on samyang lens)
- Power on the camera. It is prompting for the focal length. Selected 15mm.
- went to the backyard and took following shots. Full size images are loaded at following link.
Experts pls review these photos and confirm that quality of both the items are good and no replacement is needed.
None of these images are post-processed. Only Black & White is generated by my Android phone automatically from this Picasa collection.

Each time, i power-off and power-on the Camera, it prompts me for the focal length selection. Is it normal
? Should i continue with this? Or there is anyway, i can disable this prompt? I have read various websites on the topic. But no clear answer on this.
Thanking you so much for your support.
