It seems by changing Aperture Drive in AF to "Focus Priority" it solved the problem. This setting isn't on the A7 III and I'm still not clear what it does after reading the manual. Do you have any ...

In the video the camera was set to AF-C

Does it sound like this? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1soFJ4wVc9rrGsXMHaYlVPxOYXuI9NXEo/view?usp=sharing This lens is near silent on my A7 III but on the A7R IV it's sounding like this.

I know this is an old thread but I've picked up a Sony A7r IV and I'm now experiencing this with the 55mm 1.8 and the Sony 35mm 1.8. My other lenses are totally silent such as the 16-35 GM. I also ...

Update - this appears to only be happening with my A7R IV. Has anyone else experienced this?

How did your second copy go? I'm experiencing the same problem with my copy but I'm convinced it's only just started happening. I have the opportunity to return it if it's not right still, I've ...

I've just noticed that both of the lenses in the title have started making an audible noise when changing the aperture value. I was worried it was the camera (I've just switched bodies to the A7r ...

If you dislike the Sony why didn't you position the question of a Canon RF Vs Nikon Z? I share your concerns about Nikon but I truly want them to get through it. I think they will.

Are you thinking of buying an A1 as a hobbyist? Your original shooting styles didn't seem to fit with such high fps. I believe the Tamron can shoot up to 15fps which is still a ridiculous rate. If ...

On Sony they do. Sony have shared their lens protocols with third parties unlike on Canon and Nikon where they have to reverse engineer it. This should mean that the lenses can fully leverage the ...

Look up the Tamron 70-180 2.8 if you haven't already on the Sony system. I've recently switched from Nikon Z to Sony and that Tamron really caught my eye. I imagine it will eventually appear on ...

The Sony A7r IV would be a good choice. I have the Sony 16-35 2.8 and I love it. You could pair that with the Tamron 70-180 2.8 and save yourself a tonne of weight to carry, it's also had great ...

As a reference in IQ - I found the Sony 35mm 1.8 to be as good as the Nikon Z 35mm 1.8 but YMMV. If you look on CamerSize the Fuji X-T4 + 23mm 1.4 is about the same size as the Sony A7 III + 35mm ...

Hi, yes, in the end, I ended up making the switch to a Sony A7 III from the Z6. During Black Friday a company had discounts on used bodies plus they made a mistake to include coupon discounts too. ...

I'll do my best to answer some of your original questions and also the point about primes. Overall, you need to accept you'll never find a lens that ticks every single box. Usually, you have to ...

Excellent, that's good to know. I ended up passing on an absolute bargain of a used Tamron 28-200, gutted!

Is there a reason you own the 24-105 and 28-200?

I shoot a lot at 24mm when I've used a 24-70 before. I do wonder if I'd miss that a lot with the 28-200. Never shot beyond 85mm before...

Great detailed answer, thanks! Are you hoping the 28-200 will replace the Sony 24-105 then? I appreciated you taking the time to explain when you’d use what combo of lenses. It’s really given me ...

Forgot to ask. What would you pack for a place you won’t return for years?
