Pentax FA 85mm f2.8 soft

Dear all,
Thanks for help! After some test I found it is a defected lens. Contacted seller and he agreed to refund me after I post it back.

A couple of things about the lens. It doesn't have an "a setting" for aperture like all other FA lens. Thus it can be only used by manual setting of aperture -- after referring to some information on line, I found it was designed this way, so that the "soft effect" is controlled by manually setting the aperture.

I believe the one I got has internal mechanical problem.

hopefully I can get the refund soon which will be used for other lens.

I just bought the used lens, and found it doesn't have A setting like other FA lens.
Futher I also found the aperture works only from 2.8 to 4.5 (indicated by information when viewing shots), when mounted to my K10d.
Can this lens be used on K10D? thanks
