Re: Weird black line/artifact in photo? (XT4 + Canon FD)

Erik;

I took a close look at the white line and it appears to be 'perfect' .... i.e. not optical but (I think) an electronic artifact.

Have you tried taking a picture with no lens on the camera ? Then take the (blurry) image and take a close look to see if a white or dark line shows up. If you find one that will show that it has nothing to do with the old Canon FD lenses.

I wonder if there's some setting in the XT4 that hasn't been configured for use with a purely manual lens ?

Regards;

Paul

PS - I have a bunch of FD lenses also .... my first camera was a Canon FTb way back when I was overseas in the Air Force. (I'd love to have a mirrorless camera that looked-and-felt like the old FTb !) I use them once-in-awhile on my Sony a7iii. (I got a nice photo of the Moon using the Canon FD catadioptic lens.)
