Just been out with the A9, managed to nail focus on a seagull's foot , i'll never take the p*** out of you BIF boys again
I found this video helpful, particularly setting up a secondary BBF button specifically for bif/tracking.Just been out with the A9, managed to nail focus on a seagull's foot , i'll never take the p*** out of you BIF boys again
Thanks that’s interesting so just checking you mean the Sigma 14-24 DG DN? I know the Samyang can suffer with that so it’s the reason my wife bought from Amazon for the easy return but didn’t know the Sigma could be the same....
Thanks Bob, I just stuck the 135 on and went for a walk, need a decent long zoom really.I found this video helpful, particularly setting up a secondary BBF button specifically for bif/tracking.
Works great....

I don't think Sigma can be regarded as having poor QC, quite the opposite imo. You must have been very unlucky.Yes I mean the sigma 14-24mm f2.8 DN lens (DN stands for mirrorless lenses )
Any lens from any manufacturer can be decentered. Just that some manufacturers have more of an issue due to poor QC than others.
Thanks and yep I know the meaning of the DN designation and it’s why I’m looking at that specific lens, I just wasn’t aware Sigma were having the same issues so needed to be sure before I start more research....
Do you happen to have any links by the way?
Edit - found one on FredMiranda.......

Speak to @Fuji DaveYes, I'm telling myself not to buy right now!
What's your widest lens Dave?If I buy any more lenses then I will sell one of my others to fund it.
I can see what you're up to, if he says 12mm you'll tell him there's an 8mm then wait for the "just ordered" postWhat's your widest lens Dave?
Not at allI can see what you're up to, if he says 12mm you'll tell him there's an 8mm then wait for the "just ordered" post
I might have a boxed excellent nick 18 f2.8 UK sourced, available very shortly.Not at all [emoji38]
It was actually a genuine question....
My widest is 24mm on my 24-105, but need wider.
Not sure if 18mm would be wide enough.
Would like a 16-35mm f4 but skint just now....

Do they keep them in escrow for you?Sorry for the delay, had to login to Wex to see. It is the Sigma 16mm, and I think I might have too many lenses

I really like my 24-105mmIf I did get rid of any it will only be two, the FE24.105mm and the 32 mm Zeiss.

I actually wrote out a list of the AF 35mm's the other day with the main comparative specs. I have the paper right next to me now
I'm still pondering though.

I also have a 35 f2.8 - it's been a great little lens, soft edges wide open, nice & sharp stopped down, tiny and super-light. I'd like the stop of extra light, shallower DoF and slightly higher sharpness of the 35 f1.8 but I'm really not sure I *need* to change. Having the 12-24 means that I simply don't use the 18mm very much, and I'm more likely to let that go & keep 2 35s.
I’m debating whether I need a 35mm, already owning a 28 and a 45. To help me decide I’m going to try a manual legacy lens - I have a Flektagon 35mm f2.8 (which I found in a drawer, not a bag ) and I’m just waiting for the adapter to arrive.
No, I've not noticed a difference going from 36mp to 24mp.Sony might release a camera with 102mp chip...
Is this getting silly?
I'd definitely need a new PC
Would you buy a 100mp camera?

I would rather have 50mp in a medium format sensor, but I don't feel lens technology is there for such a high resolution FF sensor.Sony might release a camera with 102mp chip...
