    I just got this as a second hand lens. Slightly soft at the edges (but I wouldn't expect more) but a fun lens to have. Here's two pics - one looking at my lounge and the second, the view I get from the back of my house. Not sure why it reports it as a focal length of 21mm though.

    I.Q. > MOUNT ADAPTOR SETTING
    Adjust settings for lenses attached via a mount adapter. The camera can store settings for multiple lenses (LENS 1 through LENS 6).

    ᔥ IMAGE QUALITY SETTING (Still Photography)

    You can substitute a fully manual, no electronic link lens for mount adaptor here.

    I don't see how that relates to my query. Sorry.

    You have to set the focal length manually for a lens that doesn’t have an electronic connection. — which I believe to be the case with the Samyang.

    One more thing worth remembering… On the X-S10, and I believe by extension on the X-T5, adapter/manual lens settings are one of the options controlled by the Custom Settings presets.

    Indeed, and the default setting is 21mm, so that is what the exif in Alan's image shows.
