Yes, happened to me a few years ago with my A7R. Correct (orange) Sony-specific stick from reputable vendor but with similar results. Took me quite a pile of wet cleaning swabs to get rid of ...

While understanding and learning more about camera behavior is always helpful looking for a magical combination that would work as hoped is nowhere near the the answer. For studio use people ...

Not trying to dispute your issues at all; let me stress again like I've said in previous threads if you absolutely need to use AF-C stopped down to F/8 or smaller a lot none of the Sony cameras ...

Lenses like Batis 85 open up to focus, have real focus shift that does not appear in the final AF Result. They propably do a CDAF iteration after stopping down to eliminate focus shift. Why the GM ...

I practically never shoot at outside M mode anymore (I'm on M mode with fixed or auto ISO) but quick testing confirms what you say about Aperture Priority. Seems to open up better in M mode (spent ...

Well if you tried with AF-C then you would be at F/5.6 after the lock whereas 5D3 will be wide open until shutter is pressed so it's AF gets way more light. This behavior is why I have not bought ...

Latest on everything; I'm quite pedantic about this. You do know that how the scene meters affects how much and if the lens open up to focus?

My lens set is quite the opposite: I have FE 35/2.8, FE 55/1.8, Batis 85, FE 90/2.8 and FE 70-200/4 OSS and MC-11 + Art 35/1.4. All open up to focus on AF-S and AF-C before lock. After lock in ...

Lack of S-Log profiles is not ease of use feature. Without S-Log video users are more or less denied access to full dynamic range of sensors. Dropping Picture Profiles is quite crippling for pro ...

Yes. Focus zoom can be activated by assigning "Focus Settings" or "Focus Magnifier" to a customizeable button (C1, C2...) and using that button to toggle different zooms. Also, focus peaking ...

I'd say yes. From A9 Brochure: Versatile spot metering When the Focus Area parameter is set to Flexible Spot or Expanded Flexible Spot the metering spot location can be linked to the focus area so ...

Focal length (manual or automatic input) gets you 3-Axis. Focus distance (that changes per shot so cannot be input manually) is needed for 5-Axis and Zeiss ZE do not provide that. That said, I ...

One gets Focus distance from Canon lenses through Metabones, at least it is shown in Exif data in "Focus Distance 2" field. Below one can see part of an exif the 1st RAW file I could find that ...

With adapted lens you get 5-axis only when focus distance is transmitted to camera body, otherwize it is 3 axis only ==> needs smart/electronic adapter with a lens that transmits focus distance. ...

Where did I said anything about worrying about sharpness with FE 28? I have not said anything about print size you get with FE 28; it should be pretty obvious to anyone that you can print A7R II + ...

No, what it means is that sharpness is not comparable on open aperture, no more or no less than exactly what I said. The difference in wide open sharpness between these two lenses is not even ...

FE 28 is a good lens, but on open apertures it has nothing in terms of sharpness compared to Batis 25. The dxo overall score really does not tell that much

That thread (and a few other threads) contain pretty much all there is to know about the problem. The behavior of these cameras is known, adaptations to shooting style that can (at least ...

I'm quite confident that below you can find quite accurately how things work. There might be other lenses in addition to GM 24-70 and GM 85 that focus closed down for AF-S too. You really do not ...

Based on the shots you posted a couple of things - the focus seems mostly just fine - at ISO 1600 with eyes on the shade you are not gonna see razorblade crisp eyelashes irises like in ISO 100 ...
