They had 100 years for perfecting printing a 100 years logo ;-)!!!

I use a calibrated EIZO CG276, am a confident Nikon D4 shooter and I was VERY surprised that I voted the A9 best in 9 of 12 cases, the 1D in 2 cases and the D5 only in one case. I had really...

In my eyes the 18-105 is one of the better Sony lenses even mine is NOT parfocal on my a6300 and a6500. Still on 03 but will update soon. Unluckily Sony still has problems with QC - needed 3x ...

...since as to be seen in the house shoot e.g. it suffers from strong field curvature - or is this just a problem of copy variation?! I tried one on my own and it also showed this effect.

...either the lens design and/or this copy! I also had one Zeiss 16-70 for my a6500 and I found similar problems. The lens seems to suffer from "strong" field curvature. In my case I had it @35mm ...

That´s not the quality of a proper 18-105 4.0 G!! You should get better results!!

I recently bought one brand new but sent it back because of strong field curvature. Maybe I'll  try a different copy but I guess it's a problem of the lens design and not the copy variation. Have ...

No, not really.

Installed 1.03 on my a6500 and found that the sometimes jumpy steady shoot doesn't appear any more (filmed "hours" today from my Zhiyun Crane using 18-105, 10-18 and 24 1.8). The photo AF is also ...

Unluckily again no real/effective 4K/UHD due to debayering of only a 8.8MP sensor!!
Would have liked to see something like Sony does in the a6300/6500 with downsampling from a 20MP 16:9 crop (which...

I still have both beside my D4 and yes, initially I preferred the D2x skin color over the D3's.
Actually my partner does many portrait work with the D3 and, my D2x resting in the shelf, I would say...

Try 2.8 or 4.0 with items in the same distance at "infinity". The sides probably will be unsharp.

I don't understand all these positive words about the CZ SEL24F18! I have the third copy now for my a6500 and the results are only consistent in the middle. At 1.8 the sharpness is quite good even ...

I mainly use the 18-105 4.0G OSS and the 10-18 4.0 OSS for my video work on the a6500 and I´m quite happy with the results, but not to forget that I had to try three samples of the 18-105 to get a ...

No, no current stabilisation, even not a gimbal for video will help you for macro work, at least the results in comparison are nowhere near to "conventional work". The problem is that your motion ...

As described in my "lens quality control desaster" post I'm currently on my second copy of the CZ24/1.8. As described there I recently found there is a difference in AF accuracy between "Live View ...

Ok, I´m a step further. This lens not only has "some" field curvature, it also has focus shift as mentioned by someone before. My camera was set to "Live View On", means the camera focusses stopped ...

Hi, maybe try XMedia Recode for downsampling files. It has many options for conversion of video and can even "tag" color information to videos. As far as I know it doesn´t alter the color ...

Can't remember my Nex7/SEL24F18Z produced such a crap...

Nice pics, ok, but at this tiny size even photos of my iPhone 6s look good! I guess we would hardly see a difference if these photos had been taken with a 16-50. From what I´ve read about the ...
