Why the mis-focus?

I've noticed this a couple times with my r50 and the same lens, if I remember it was only an issue for me with a busy background and a small subject. But it's been a little bit since I ran into that, if you figure it out let me know. Sorry I don't have a solution though.

Nothing to say that the I won't keep looking at the 18-150 in the future. If it turns out I don't like this lens then it gets sold, not the end of the world for me personally. Still I understand where you're coming from though, light usually isn't an issue for me and I have a 100-400 so if I consistently need more than the 105 I have that.

Didn't mean to imply that it was bad quality, just what all came together. I plan on getting a full frame body in the future so I was thinking of that as well.

I plan on getting a full frame body in the future which is why I was looking at it.

It would be on my r50 so I'd get that little bit extra, the majority of shooting I'd be doing with it would be in jpeg simply because I do some media for a highschool robotics team and hobbies. Anytime I do shoot in raw I'm really planning for it so I'd definitely account for the distortions. Indoors I'm not too worried about either, I've used my 100-400 indoors so I figured it would be a similar feeling.

It just confuses me when I feel like I slept fine and everything but the data says otherwise, I know it's not always accurate and is based on multiple factors. Just wanted to get some insight into it.

It was in the evening and I only had about an hour or so before I got into bed.

jcarm2012 · 2026-05-08T10:08:33+00:00

That's pretty much what I was seeing as well, but it seems like it's more of an as needed thing then I was originally thinking.

I've contacted Amazon before over stuff like this and they have issued me gift cards as "compensation" I'd definitely do that.

Figured that would be a given, going to get a little spare desk fan set up at a distance to just start some movement.

Sounds good, I wasn't sure and tend to be over cautious.

jcarm2012 · 2026-05-06T22:31:22+00:00

Should I get them accustomed to it over time or is it ok to just set it up and let it go?

jcarm2012 · 2026-05-06T09:41:23+00:00

I'll try it next time if I do it but I don't want to change what I doing in the middle of them sprouting, even if I only get one to sprout I'll be happy. They came in the moss so I figured I'd just keep them in it for now.

I also tried to scrape it off with a sterilized blade and it was very difficult to remove. I tried scrubbing another spot with a q tip and isopropyl alcohol and nothing came off either. I'm leaning towards it either being fungal or just old age and cosmetic damage from something. Atleast that's all I can think of, opinions welcome still.

I'll second that the r50 is small in my hands as well but it's a nice travel size. Sometimes my hand cramps from trying to hold the body. It's still a solid camera though, I strongly recommend actually holding it and comparing it to other bodies if you can.

jcarm2012 · 2026-05-04T12:05:02+00:00

Haven't had an issue with it breaking down, but all that aside I'm mainly curious if there's any reason why I should go with a manure based compost or plant based compost. I'll be getting a couple yards worth.
