The FA lens is like a tank.
Both are excellent.

The trouble comes with those who don't understand what they are doing and how to deal with people and those who are villains of one sort or another.
As far as the seller goes these days things are rather stacked against, regardless of how careful we are. But what's the alternative, sell nothing?
Sadly when things do go wrong there is No Saving Throw for the seller...

Question for admin: Why can't I see the poll results without voting first?

It will work, but lenses having an "A" on the aperture ring should be set to that and will work fully without any messing about.

Apparently this is to keep shipping in line with what buyers expect to pay.

The only trouble is the viewfinder of my K10D is a bit off for manual focusing with this lens.
If you are finding it difficult to see the point of sharpest focus, the dioptre adjustment may be wrongly set. Point the camera at a blank area of wall or sky (it's better if the lens is out of focus for this) and ajust the eyepiece until the guide lines are critically sharp. That will mean you are now focusing your eye on the ground glass screen and manual focusing should be much easier.
