I know it's a bit soft but This is what I have managed to do as cropping as I only had the FA*85/1.4.

Bro why so purple...WB not set correctly??


I left t in AWB. Not sure what is happening but it is so weird . . . I just realised that this lens is a +3 in the AF adjustment. . . . It seems it has something to do with the metering.

Did any expert here tried ur lens recently outing? Do they have the same problem when mounted on their camera? Did u try it on ur k5iis...?

I don't think the +3 will affect the metering. Are you using any filter with the lens?
Metering could not be that way off. Weird.

But a purple cast on all my photos? Unless it's the damn HOYA UV filter I have for protection. Must get another type that I use on my 18-135 that does not cause a problem mmm . . .

Unless the K3 is the problem . . .

On my K5IIs no problem leh, only the K3 is acting very weird . . . Other have tried on other cameras but no issues . . .

I suggest you check the awb setting.
Maybe its already set to a magenta bias.


But shouldn't u have checked if it looks casted before posting or during processing?

HMmm at AWB setting, are we able to make adjustment to the setting? but if yes, then must see if you have make any fine tuning adjustments.

Another 2nd thought, did you use the AWB or the Multi- AWB and JPEG or RAW file for your post processing?

Cannot tell from my small screen. At least here, I get the feedback I need to solve the issues. Thanks JK. Think I solved the issue. Must buy big screen and I reset all the WB settings to default now. Saw some settings not at 0,0 but at certain colour cast. The Multi-AWB was set towards more purple. I never looked at them as I assumed it was default. Oh well, learn something new.

Multi AWB JPEG.

Ah. then i think is your setting in M-AWB has been affected. Cos if you use Multi AWB on RAW, the white balance will run when you edit them. I'm not sure if they have solve this issue as i have stopped using M-AWB.

OK, I looked the all the WB settings and I reset all back. Will do a test tomorrow to see if the purple cast is still there. It was leaning more to the purple side. Why I never think of this? Really goondu . . .

I never changed any setting unless it got changed inside my camera bag. I always leave it on standby mode. From now on I will switch off . . .
DUH .. .

Great! :)

If you are using a laptop, many of them have really poor colour fidelity.

Maybe awb was biased when you accidentally adjusted it or that previous user need it (eg. Sunset)
