I'm sure that all is not sweetness and light in Apple Land and I'm sure that there are problems but I think I'm safe in saying that there are fewer players in the Apple Universe than there are in the PC Universe and generally fewer issues. There have been some big issues in the Apple universe though but generally I think that the point that Apples are better issue wise is usually true.
I'm one of those staunch pc owners who can't see the point of buying identical hardware at far more cost just because it's got a different operating system!
Or at least that was me until I got an mbp and now I could never go back!!!!
Tbf though as you've found, osx is very good and apple hardware is lovely, esp the laptops and the old g5 aluminium towers. After years I'm used to it so I like switching between OSs. Keeps it slightly more interesting.
I think you have a friend lol.
Wonder how the 35mm compares against my sigma 35art
I don't think we'll have to wait too long to find out.
The 35 art maybe sharper (don't know just guessing) but characteristics such as bokeh, micro contrast and rendering will probably be better on the Zeiss (don't know but they usually are) and its not like the Zeiss won't be ultra sharp so...
Yea its like a rolling shutter effect.Could this be caused by artificial lighting flickering and changing as the sensor is read? A sort of rolling shutter effect? Could you try a natural light shot and see if it still happens?
Maybe it could be avoided by using a different shutter speed? You could check that too...
I think I read something about this somewhere... may not even have been about an A7...

I believe this can happen on cameras with electronic shutters (unless it's a full global shutter). It's because the sensor can only read off a few lines at a time and while it does this really quickly, if your lighting is changing rapidly (as in hundreds or thousands of times a second as with fluorescent lighting) you can get stripes as the sensor reads different parts of the image under different lighting conditions.When shooting in silent shutter mode I sometimes get strange shading horizontal stripes on the imagine. Hard to explain but will upload a pic. It only appears when I shoot indoors in wall. Umm
I recently bought the F20M flash for messing about with at home, but I'm not sure I understand it.
I shoot mostly in aperture priority. Now If do that with ISO set to auto and the flash on, the shutter speed will drop to something like 1/5, which with a 35mm lens of course means a blury photo.
If I manually set the ISO then I can bring up the shutter speed, but surely that defeats the whole point of having a TTL flash.
Not an April fools?Must be the end users to blame... again
Sony has recently become aware that some of the Sonnar T* FE 35mm F2.8 ZA E-Mount lenses sold during and after November 2014 are experiencing an issue when customers attempt to update the software to the new version released on March 4, 2015 (from Ver. 01 to Ver. 02).
Sony is planning to offer repairs for the affected lenses free of charge. (Please contact the Sony Support Center listed below. Applications for repairs will also be accepted through the Sony website.)
In the case that the software update completes with no trouble, there is no need for repair.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

A7s is the camera for low noiseI read that review with interest and note that several of my whinges with the original a7 are still present (handling, high iso performance, loud shutter, raw compression) which is a shame. I guess the 1/60th second preference in auto iso mode is still there too. Clearly it's a very versatile camera for MF users who don't mind evfs, but I can't help but feel that Sony could do better. Maybe they will with the a9.
BTW the low light performance of that 24mp sensor is definitely sub par in Sony bodies compared to the Canon 6D, with loads more chroma noise leading to loss of detail. It's still better than most croppers tho, including Fuji.

I am seeing some strange purple fringing i believe it is when you take a closer look at the whites in this picture
Yea the white on the t-shirt plus if u look on the background as well you will see it thereIs it the whites on the back of the T shirt you're seeing the problem with? Could it be an artefact of the wide aperture? The other shot seems to have lower contrast, could contrast be a part of the issue?
