I think you just sold another 20/1.4 for Sigma. =) That coma really isn't too bad when you look at the full image.

Wow, I just came across this thread while I was doing some research on the Sigma 20/1.4. That's some serious prep work and an insane setup! Have you posted results anywhere?

I think I may have found a solution. Or at least an improvement. I have setup the Tasker app (on Android) to basically whenever it detects the presence of the A7iii Bluetooth (state: BT near), ...

A quick workaround which seems to work reliably for me is to just quickly flick Bluetooth off and on again in my phone. The camera then quickly connects and is ready to go. (Though I wish this ...

Yes, but for some reason they only work with compressed raw, right? I prefer to use uncompressed.

I haven't heard any actual shutter sound, but I did notice that the camera does a lot of shuddering and vibrates rather vigorously on both startup and shutdown. I guess this is the IBIS doing ...

Thanks, saw your addition now.

Many thanks for trying this out for me! I will perhaps end up going for the Sigma 135 for the reach and the subject isolation.

Well, as a non-owner when I posted this I was trying to gauge the size of the problem. Just the other day someone posted photos on Facebook taken with the 85/1.8 so it obviously does occur to some ...

Wow, I like your dedication! Keep us posted! :)

While it's no fun to wait, it'll be good to see what they come up with. What are the obvious holes in the current line-up that we expect them to fill? (Everyone say 35/1.8!)

That's very kind of you. Thanks!

Thanks mate, that's exactly what I needed to hear :) Do you have any examples with flaring too which don't show the striping? I'm thinking it will be possible to avoid the problem by making sure ...

No, this is just from online research. Ok. While I was aware it was connected with flaring, I wasn't aware it had to be blown out too. It's good to hear that it's not very common. Yep. Just trying ...

Ok, interesting. While the striping effect is said to be less pronounced on the A7R iii due to smaller pixels, this is still slightly reassuring to hear.

I was so happy that I'd found the light and compact and reasonably priced Sony 85/1.8 to add to my soon-to-be Sony system. But then I became aware that the 85/1.8 is perhaps more prone than other ...

Thanks for your reply. I think I'd better get the Sony since one of the things I need it for is couples coming down the isle with AF-C. I'll probably wait a bit though, to see if any third party ...

Ok. To be clear, I don't own the Canon 70-200 F4 IS, but was considering buying it as a cheaper option to the Sony 70-200 F4. But I saw someone else now (in the A7III group on Facebook) claim the ...

Is that the 2.8 ii or the 4.0 ii?

I've been hunting around for information about how well the Canon 70-200 f/4 L IS autofocuses on the A7iii, but haven't found anything so far. Does anyone here have any first hand experience of ...
