Nice set of photos, Paul. The 35 f2 lens seems to perform very well on
the K3! I was considering this lens but held off because I was worried
that the K3 might be too demanding for some of the older film era
lenses, but the lenses seem to work well with the camera (from what I
have seen / tried so far.)
I have never done AF fine tuning - maybe I should buckle down and do
that with this camera.

My camera showed up this afternoon. (Finally convinced B&H that I didn't want
to wait until the grip was in stock for shipping.) Been busy all day but got a
chance to play for a bit tonight. Like the way the autofocus functions are
controlled by the front and rear wheels when the button is pushed. Nice. Shot a few
frames with the FA 35/2, since my 16-50 is still in Japan. This lens usually
requires the most focus adjustment but seems pretty close on this camera. Was very
pleased with the way the camera was able to focus in near darkness.
Shot my scotch in near total darkness. Focus locked right on. ISO 51.200, f2.8,

My scotch with the bar lights on, shot at a more reasonable ISO 3200, f5.6, 1/25th:

And Grace doing her homework, ISO 3200, f5.6, 1/100th:

Very pleased with the autofocus using this screw drive lens. Will try it with
SDM lens next.
Autofocus fine tuning for all lenses on the weekend. Then we're good to go.
