Ah well looks like it'll go back, nothing I do seems to work unfortunately back to the drawing board.
That sucks

I know Harrisons throughly test lenses they take in, well they did on the lenses I took in anyway.you'd think shops test whatever people trade-in... i.e. at least try mounting it and taking a half-arsed picture
Can you not ask them to fix it under warranty if it was such a bargain, or would you rather not take the risk?Ah well looks like it'll go back, nothing I do seems to work unfortunately back to the drawing board.

I can't see it in the first but I can in the second.
It's disappointing but I'm not sure it'd put me off as I'm pretty sure I'd only see it in a small number of pictures and I'm pretty certain no one who sees my pictures would see it. So, I'd probably still buy
As owners of affected cameras what do you guys think? Is it an issue but one you can live with? Anyone put off buying for this issue?
TBH if it happened in 1/1000 shots I don't think many people would mind too much, although it is more noticeable on the A7iii. I don't think you're going to ever ruin a key wedding photo due to this issue either as it's highly unlikely going to get a heavily backlit scene of the bride walking down the Aisle, or throwing the bouquet etc. Whilst it could be annoying in a studio environment or outdoor portrait shoot chances are you'll have fired off several of the same shot anyway and it's unlikely that the artefact will be present in all of them.I can see it in both, but only at 100% - as the line is a pixel high -it disappears once you start zooming out to standard viewing size
So it's unlikely to be seen unless you needed to crop and someone was being very attentive
Haven't noticed it in any working shots, with back lit flash scenes.

Thanks.
The flare shots I take are just for me so I don't think I'll worry about this too much.
It'll be interesting to see if the technology moves on over time and if this can be resolved with either in camera trickery or new hardware but the fix may bring a new issue. Such is life. There's no free lunch etc...
Its more a timing thing, I'd rather not wait for weeks on a repair when I could explore other options - maybe a used Canon FE 100-400, seems to work very well with the MC-11
It would be a several thousand £ lunch not a free one.
I realise you folk are nearly all pros who demand autofocus and love fast zooms so this will be of limited interest. However Zeiss have a few promotions on a the moment and one is:
Zeiss Loxia 85mm at £914.00
Ok coolhttps://c1.staticflickr.com/1/900/27597423748_c5fb099b79_o.jpg

Just shoot into it and dial your camera so it's not all white,
Ooooh! Want!
But it's f2.4. If it was f2... I know this may be just psychological but...
Free postage, arrives next day...
Hey I'll be in near you next weekend. Food Festival at Auckland Castle Saturday
Land / Range Rovers are better.
Sorry, Range Rover all day longNah Audi SQ5 takes my pick
Stop it.
PS.
I have three old 85mm lenses but I was thinking recently that I could get a modern one... but in reality it's not a length I use all that much as I tend to go more for 35/50mm.

Stop buying lenses and get a duster instead.

With you on this one. Got to roll around in one of these over the weekend!
Shift like s*** and handles corners fantastic. Put it in fast mode hear the engine roar
Very kind, could bring some nice cake from the fair. But shan't have time this weekend as dropping a daughter at Uni, seeing Mum & the festival and staying at sisters in Bishop, before back to the smoke Sunday. But I have been known to visit Hartlepool, Roseberry Topping and RSPB Saltholm which must be a stones throw from you, so maybe later in the year?Stop it.
Haven't heard about that, will Google it.
You're welcome to come for tea

G Wagons are super cool
But when they work they’re so nice Reliability has got better to be fair.No chance I know a few people with them all
Braking down with electrical failure quite a few in the area
I’ve always found Audi’s a bit sterile compared to other marques, YMMVShift like s*** and handles corners fantastic. Put it in fast mode hear the engine roar
The Batis on their site is still over £100 more than Sex and other places.
I honestly think I'm done buying lenses.Don't buy one then!!! Get another 35mm!.. That Loxia is nice though!
According to the latest JD the Audi's are at the bottom of the reliability table just above BMW. I was surprised at this given the image of reliability and quality that the Germans try to push.No chance I know a few people with them all

Yes, give me a shout if heading up this way and the same for the rest of you. I tend to be quite busy at home but with notice I could possibly get some cover and meet up.Very kind, could bring some nice cake from the fair.

If you haven't seen the castle it is quite photogenic and the weather looks promising. I'll be taking my 21mm too

Actually when you've owned old MG's none of this matters
The most unreliable cars I've had have been BMWs, but then I've had 6 which is more than any other brand I've had so it's a little skewed. However my 330 sport coupe needed a new air con system, my first M3 had 12 (yes 12) faults and ended up being exchanged in the end, and my current X5 still has ongoing issues, although minor. The most reliable cars I've had have been Scoobies and my Land Rover.I've owned multiple BMW's (all which had issues), before owning a 2015 Golf R and now a 2017 Audi Allroad. Audi has less rattles than the Golf, other than that - i've had no serious issues with either. (side mirror dip failed on the Golf, also had a little wind noise from one door). So far, no issues with the Audi other than slightly misting up headlights now and again (LED units, so no heat to disperse the misting!).
Whilst no car is free from faults, the 2 cars i've owned from the VAG group have certainly been better than the BMW's I owned before that...

M3 was the E92 V8. Problems ranges from a weird rattling sound from the engine that I had a battle over for about 3-4 months with BMW refusing that it was there, in the end it turned out to be the belt to the power steering pump (or was it air con pump? ) Then there were minor things like the DAB not working requiring a new rear windscreen, issue with the rain sensor wipers, plus others, but the final nail was very loud banging (like a gun being fired) which caused the back end to judder. This went undiagnosedYeah, that's a tad rough. What one earth was wrong with the M3 (which model)? Engine wise, I stick to the flat 6's on the BMW's - not a fan of the 4 pots. V6 on the Audi now, lovely engine it is.
