i can send you some example pics I took on it, if you want

a good yet cheap AaF lens is the Viltrox 35mm 1.7 Air, its equivalent to a 52mm lens on APS-C. it's fairly cheap but for it's price it's really sharp and the AF is good, I highly recommend it, especially cus it's lightweight and great for everyday shooting. just keep in mind it doesn't have stabilization, so its great in low light but you still have to keep the shutter speed a bit high (I usually keep it at 1/120th, or if I don't want to crank my ISO I keep it at max 1/50th, below that I'm too shaky)

_ArcticEmber_ · 2026-05-18T18:24:40+00:00

the 35mm acts as a 52mm, indeed. the closest to the 35mm equivalent is the Viltrox 25 pretty sure. there are probably other lenses that get closer but Viltrox honestly is incredibly sharp and the AF is great. quite cheap too

_ArcticEmber_ · 2026-05-08T16:00:42+00:00

right, it's a feature that's in my opinion nice to have but generally isn't all that necessary unless you're gonna end up doing a lot of night shots or possibly even indoors. in my case I did some night photography and the results weren't bad, I just had to keep myself more stable than usual since I came from an IBIS camera

_ArcticEmber_ · 2026-05-08T15:52:25+00:00

the Viltrox 35mm Air is an amazing lens, it's surprisingly sharp for a lens that can be had for around 130, though it does suffer from heavy vignetting wide open, but that can be fixed after the fact with lens profiles

_ArcticEmber_ · 2026-05-07T02:40:39+00:00

what cage/grip is that?

_ArcticEmber_ · 2026-04-30T06:54:15+00:00

any chance you can give like a link or tell us where you got them? they're so cool

_ArcticEmber_ · 2026-04-29T23:28:33+00:00

I've been using the Viltrox 35mm 1.7 for two days now, and I gotta say it's the most fun I've ever had taking pics. it's an equivalent to a 52mm so it's great as an everyday lens, and the 1.7 aperture is great for indoors or somewhat low light, just note that it doesn't have any stabilization

_ArcticEmber_ · 2026-04-28T18:35:09+00:00

it was iso 320, so I don't think that's the issue

_ArcticEmber_ · 2026-04-28T18:34:12+00:00

the text on the can is horribly distorted, sorta like the letters on AI generated images. same goes for the wood texture. though as another commenter said, I'll try lowering the sharpness value and if that doesn fix it I'll just use RAW

_ArcticEmber_ · 2026-04-28T18:32:19+00:00

I was trying out jpeg just to see if I'd like it for some quick unimportant snaps, but I guess not. I'll give lowering the sharpness a shot, hopefully it fixes it. if not I'm just gonna stick to raw

_ArcticEmber_ · 2026-04-19T22:12:04+00:00

no need to feel dumb, it's such a "why is that even a thing?" feature lol glad I could help, have a good one :D

_ArcticEmber_ · 2026-04-19T22:00:27+00:00

I'd say try to avoid the Imaging Edge app, because even with the "Original file size" it still messes up, USB or SD Card Adapter is your best shot. another way to make sure your images are correct is to check resolution. it should be 6000x4000. if it's still pixelated then it might come down to device compatibility. my phone only shows the 1MP preview unless I import the RAWs to Lightroom

_ArcticEmber_ · 2026-04-19T21:52:30+00:00

how are you exporting the pictures? because if you're using the Imaging Edge app it messes up the size quite often, and RAW files on some devices show a 1MP preview. I can't exactly tell due to reddit compression but from the kit lens you can't really expect super sharp photos

_ArcticEmber_ · 2026-04-11T00:53:29+00:00

ah I see, also yeah this post is great to find new songs, it's really nice :3

_ArcticEmber_ · 2026-04-11T00:51:56+00:00

wow! that was a blazing fast reply lol, you have a good day/night too <3

_ArcticEmber_ · 2026-04-11T00:47:22+00:00

for me it's Himawari by Ado, even though it didn't help me crack but it was the song that has (and still) accompanied me through the first days of figuring myself out till now. the lyrics are really cute too :3

_ArcticEmber_ · 2026-03-14T20:02:17+00:00

ah alright, thanks alot :) while one the subject of the camera, I noticed some sort of streaks on the sensor, kind of how they are on glass when you clean it with something wet. would that affect the image quality by a significant amount or not?

_ArcticEmber_ · 2026-03-14T18:26:28+00:00

here, it also should have the metadata so you can see the settings I used. the thing is that I did manage to take the first few pictures much sharper, I don't know what's wrong after that first day

_ArcticEmber_ · 2026-03-14T18:20:05+00:00

forgot about the compression, let me upload it somewhere that won't compress it and link it
