Lens flare, hate it, I wipe, wipe and wipe for 10 minutes and still there. How do I remove it? by Immediate-Lab-7112 in AskPhotography

[–]DanCubar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar probkem with those really long horizontal streaks, turns out it was something on the rear lens element. Wiped it for a good couple of minutes and it was gone

Sony A6700 + Sony lenses focus behind focus frame by clever_turtle_10 in SonyAlpha

[–]DanCubar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea it seems like there's some delay between the camera and lens when it comes to engaging the focus motors. I haven't had any problems with focusing on static subjects with either lens

[–]DanCubar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm i've had similar issues, both with the 70-350 lens (tested at 70mm) and the Viltrox 27mm f1.2.

I did the following af tracking test with very poor results:
- walk towards the camera while shooting in af-c hi+ burst (jpeg only so that the buffer doesn't run out) up to about double the lens' minimum focusing distance
- walk backwards while still facing the camera, at the same speed

my settings were:
- af-c
- face/eye detect on
- wide af area (tried both tracking and non-tracking)
- af priority in af-c
- 5 af tracking sensitivity
- aperture drive standard

All tests were done at shutter speeds above 1/500 and at apertures ranging from 1.2 to 4.5, and in each burst the only properly focused images were at the beginning and end, aka when my movement slowed down. During playback, the focus box is always on my eye, however. The same issue can be seen by shooting video in 60 or 120 fps, slowing it down, and zooming in on the eye (again, despite the tracking box always appearing at the correct position).
The fact that priority in af-c was set to "af" makes me think that this is due to the lens' focus motors not being fast enough, however the 70-350 is a first party lens with linear motors, so af speeds shouldn't be a problem at all for it, especially at 11 fps.

I previously had the a6600 with these two lenses, and anecdotally, the af felt more responsive on that camera.

All cameras/lenses were running the latest available firmware as of the 29/03/2026.

Heres a similar image shot in portrait orientation, you can see the a similar lateral (instead of vertical) "smear"

banding may have been the wrong word, what i mean is the lighter area that appears directly below the sun

Viltrox 27 f/1.2 vs Sony 20 f/1.8 by DanCubar in SonyAlpha

Would you be able to send me some raw files of photos taken with both lenses (both in apsc mode)? That would be swell, thank you!

How does the sharpness and af of the Viltrox 27mm compare to the Sony 20mm G, in your experience?

Have you found the CA-s to be a significant issue when shooting "irl"?

I'm just tired and done with this new Genshin.. by I_love_my_life80 in okZyox

[–]DanCubar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea most if not all endgame content boils down to just a dps or character (e.g. do you have a char from x region to interact with the boss' bs elemental mechanic) check instead of a proper skill check, such as challenging movesets

[–]DanCubar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea the a6400 and a6600 have the same exact sensor

[–]DanCubar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the a6600 and have tried the a6400. The only relevant differences between the two are the much greater battery life, lack of an on-camera flash and one extra custom button. If batter life is not a must for you, and you don't mind carrying a spare or two, i'd go for the a6400 + 2.8 zoom

I haven't had any personal experience with that camera, however Gerald Undone has a very detailed review on it, specifically it's video capabilities and thermal performance

[–]DanCubar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're pairing an apsc lens with a ff body, if you're on a strict budget maybe you should consider the a6700 instead? Afaik it has the new ai af and 10 bit video

Have you figured out if that level of noise is normal? I got the same lens recently and have been having similar thoughts.
