Looks like a fibre on the back of the lens. Andrew

Sony sensor, Canon lenses, EVF MF. Andrew

Missing IBIS, OSPDAF that only works with Sony lenses, unreliable weathersealing, sensor reflections and a kit lens that's not very good.  My first gen Sony is an A7R, so I'm not familiar with A7 ...

As a happy Olympus repairee from that thread, can I just comment that it does not have a direct relevance to Panasonic. From reading the threads on Panasonic, I would say that their primary problem ...

There is something very odd about the exposure on these.  They are all at f1.4 and 1/100th, but the first two are at ISO 500 and the third at ISO 1000.  You can see the brightness in the third ...

Sounds like a warranty repair.  Did you buy it new and register it?  If so you can check the warranty period online. I had my sensor cleaned under warranty and they checked everything and replaced ...

It was a Zuiko rather than M.Zuiko, but Luton Cameras rebuilt my 12-60SWD to replace the failed cable for around £120.  They gave an estimate after they inspected it.  Olympus rebuilt the mount on ...

It goes to Portugal, you should be able to track it.  Roughly a week to produce an estimate and a week to get it back to you, in my experience. Andrew

Keep your nerve and use the Samyang 7.5mm fisheye or get an Olympus 8/1.8 and shoot wide open. ;-) Andrew

a thread on the Sony forum inviting me to move to Canon mirrorless because it will be amazing and here another thread about Nikon. It's going to take something much better to make me give up all ...

Canon 24mm TSE II, 35/2 IS, 300/4 IS.  Only questionable one is EF mount Samyang 135/2 but its a non-electronic lens with great optical properties.  Not a compelling case for E mount. Andrew

I'm not sure you see too many people who shoot with MFT gear complaining about its limitations.  My opininon is that there are more people who feel that the cheaper lenses are very good. You get a ...

You can't compare a FF 300/4 with an MFT 300/4 in terms of weight, cost etc.  However you can shoot a DSLR 300mm on a mirrorless body with an adapter. My 300/4 IS USM is a Canon.  For some odd ...

I've just tried my A7R2 with the non-electronic Samyang 135/2.  In A mode, I get shutter speed in bottom left of EVF and the same in S mode. Not sure what's happening with your settings. Andrew

I shoot MF with electronic lenses on an A7R2 a lot. They work just fine. I also shoot a couple of non-electronic lenses and that works well too, but you have to magnify manually.  Nearly always use ...

You have the adapter in Green Mode using PDAF.  Try putting it into Advanced Mode using CDAF.  It will then auto magnify when you use the focus ring in MF.  Alternatively you can magnify manually. ...

In the absolutist sense of the OP, I'm going to agree.  So many different things go into the look of an image, not least lens characteristics.  For the same quantum efficiency and sufficient Mpix ...

Canon 24mm TSE II and Zony 55/1.8.  Odd, but I had my reasons. Andrew
