Re: My first impression of K-3ii

I have the FA 35mm and K-3. I do not have trouble with slow auto-focus. I used to have trouble until I had the FA 35 calibrated. Try AF Adjust, you may have the same problem.

What settings were you using for the kid in action? You should try AF-C, with focus priority, AF Hold on, and Expanded Area AF point.

What af problem with your fa 35 ? You solved the problem by yourself or just had the af adjustment through the camera. As far as i know the af adjustment is only for front or back focus but my fa35 doesnt has this problem so far.

So far i am satisfy the af of fa35 on k-3, just sometimes hunting when do the focus.

Now i am using Fa31, max aperture is a bit soft but start from F2.2, it is very sharp at the center.
