Nice stuff. How much cropping did you do?

I bought another 3600 off eBay, and that one works fine... the first one will be returned. Next task will be seeing about adding a button to manually trigger the AF assist lamp...

No. Just take a look at the Canon 1D Mark IV. Very specialized towards sports and action photography, yet "only" 10FPS. And that's at only 16MP. The small sensor makes a big difference. If you have ...

Not sure what to tell you. I've been on the forum since it split from the APS-C one, and was on that one for a few years, since I got my original NEX-5. I got a 5 when it was new, then a NEX-7 ...

I use LR, and am happy enough with it, but most people say C1 is better... and on par with Sony's own IDC.

No, it's a full, free, version for Sony users.

MF or AF isn't the  issue, whether the lens is recognized by the camera is the issue. Native E-mount lenses, A mount lenses adapted with an LA-EA adapter, EF lenses adapted with a smart adapter, ...

Are you sure it's not the shadow of the sculpture?

I have not seen any lenses where the aperture was accessible without disassembly of the lens. The normal procedure is to clean aperture blades and the frame that holds them in an ultrasonic bath ...

The only issues I've heard are a few people that seem to have gotten the sensor jammed (maybe with a shock to the camera). In most cases, another tap to the body has been sufficient to free the ...

But the Nikon v3 was already doing 20FPS with AF-C. 18 is a step back.

The fact that the screw is turning means that at least the mechanical focus coupling should be OK in the lens. However, it is a bit strange that your MF shot did not capture EXIF from the lens. ...

The 24-240 is an FE lens.

But what about the screw head?

Well, to be clearer, I guess I should have said, "Is it autofocusing at all?" You still could have answered the other two questions, though... the second question, about whether the screw is ...

Is it focusing at all? If you unmount the lens and turn the focus ring, do you see the screw head in the breech turning? Assuming it is focusing, but not accurately, does microfocus adjustment help?

I pinged Precision Camera. They pretty quickly replied that they do not know of an adjustment procedure for the synch.

As I understand it, leaving the shutter open by default is a deliberate decision because the shutter leaves are much more delicate than the sensor surface. SLRs normally have the mirror down and ...

I brought my Canon 85/1.2L on the last couple of trips I did, including one to San Juan, and got very little use out of it. I got more shots in San Juan with my 15mm fisheye and 17mm UWA. If you ...

E is the mount specification. FE lenses are full frame, while just plain E lenses are APS-C crop lenses. By default, the camera will switch to a 10MP crop mode when an E mount APS-C lens is attached. ...
