I will buy an A7 III when the price hits the 2000€ mark in europe. I won't accept this ridiculous "Sony-Europe-Pricing". All other manufacturer just change $ to € which represents the VAT which is...

Sorry, typo. I mean: "But I was very dissappointed with the performance of the Sony 28mm f2, which can't get close to the Sigma 30mm f1.4." This has nothing to do with autofocus and the firmware ...

I ordered the Sony 28m f2 to replace the Sigma 30mm f1.4 for my Sony A6300, because the focus problems using the AF-S with the Sigma are kind of annoying. But I was very dissappointed with the ...

I suggest testing the lenses outside in the real world. A bookshelf at short distance is not perfect to test the corner sharpness at f/2.

No, that's not possible. Only about 3mm left with the lenshood in reverse position.

A lot of wasted space. You basically get a pretty big backpack with the space of a small one.

Can the Sony A6300 save the manual focus setting? If I turn the camera off, the focus is a resetted to infinity. Is there any setting to avoid that?

Yeah, that's the reason I'm a bit confused. I bought a used Sigma 16mm in mint condition on Ebay now. And unsurprisingly it has exactly the same focus problems. The problems are not just similar, ...

It's clearly visible at the edges, but the centre is often only very slightly out of focus so that you have to look twice, even at 100%. The field curvature seems to make it worse towards the edges. ...

Yeah, but when the focus is about 1cm behind the subject I intend to focus on in 100% of the images... It may not be a backfocus, but it is definitely not how the autofocus works. I tried an A6000 ...

Yes, it's better at 45mm, but I can see the difference between softness and back-focus. I compared AF-S with AF-C and with AF-S it's much better focused. I noticed the problem while trying to track ...

Redid the test with Steady Shot turned off. And no surprise - same results.

Another full res example. Both focused on the sculpture. With AF-S the sculpture is sharp and the background slightly blurry. With AF-C the background is sharp despite I focused on the sculpture. A ...

I already did a quite standardized quick test with tripod and smallest AF point. It definitly misses the focus with no exception in 100% of the cases. That mirrorless cameras don't have backfocus ...

I noticed some backfocus issues with my A6300 and the 16-50mm lens when I use the AF-C. I think it's a backfocus problem, as the focus is precise when I use AF-S. I didn't hear anything about ...

BBF = Back Button Focus

With release priority the problem seemed to be gone at f/5.6 with my Sigma 16mm. But I did not test it for f/2.8. I used AF priority in all of my tests. I already wrote to Sigma Germany last ...

The problem is that it is an issue for landscape, because it is also happening at f/5.6 or even other apertures in AF-S. It only slightly misses the focus, which causes soft edges. I now use BBF ...

Sony A6300. It doesn't only happen at infinity. But it does seem to be gone at very close distances.

Here is an example of the focus problem at f/5.6 which I could find on both copy of the lenses I tested, though the second one was better and it did happen less often. In the frame center, the ...
