Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 ... - Klaus - 06-13-2016 ... worst AF motor ever ... Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 ... - chrismiller - 06-13-2016 How so? Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 ... - Klaus - 06-13-2016 Quote:How so? It is embarrassing slow (and noisy) for a lens released in the year 2016. Unbelievable actually. Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 ... - stoppingdown - 06-13-2016 Well, it seems that they took seriously that "cheap". ^_^ Anyway, is it embarrassing only, or does it also make the thing unusable? Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 ... - chrismiller - 06-13-2016 really quiet disappointing. I had hoped that some reasonably priced FE lenses would be a good reason to enter the system. Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 ... - Klaus - 06-13-2016 I seriously doubt that you can use this AF for tracking. As for the rest I would classify it as annoying.

The "cheapest" A7II (no R, no S) is around 1500.- $, an α6300 still 1200.-, that 50/1.8 app. 300 $ - okay, there are 50mm lenses available for the same prices as those bodies, but they are meant for the R-version? Maybe one would be better off by getting a Canon 50/1.8 and using the MC-11 from Sigma? 250 (adapter) + 120 (Canon lens) makes the package not so much more expensive. Apparently the adapter is not a bad thing, says lensrentals. Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 ... - chrismiller - 06-13-2016 the original a7 is keenly priced now... Although i've had my eye on the a7s to pair with the 15mm voigtlander (also at a great price). Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 ... - JJ_SO - 06-13-2016 By reading Sarah McAlexanders blogpost on lensrentals, I saw this paragraph: Quote: So, sorry, it was no good idea to suggest this due to this limitations. :mellow: And chrismiller, the original A7's are coming with a fat shutter shock. Keep that in mind before spending money on them. Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 ... - chrismiller - 06-13-2016 The main issue I have with the sigma converter is the size of the Art lenses! I did not realise the A7 had shutter shock issues too - I though it was only the A7R. What are peoples thoughts on the GH4? I had a play with one in John lewis the other day and it feels great in the hand. I was disappointed with the x-t1 in this regard. |
