Hello Everybody and thanks in advance. Appreciate all your sage advise and responses.

 

I have been using the SEL35F28Z Sony Zeiss 35mm f2.8 for 2 months now on my A7II and A6000

 

Just today I noticed some strange white spots. They run around in a full circle along the edge of the front glass.

I've attached some pictures for your reference.

 

Can you please check your copies and let me know if this is normal.

 

many thanks in advance.

 

 

:-( Paul

Looks like a case of Schneideritis (https://www.google.nl/search?q=schneideritis&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=OdsZVcb3CtX7arPegqgP&ved=0CCEQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=887).

 

If under warranty, get it fixed by Sony or just keep using.  There is a (albeit very small) restricted diaphram (the black disc before the aperture) that is visible in your photos.  This will mitigate any problems from the paint damage from the edges of the front elements.

 Mine is spotles, and spent 6 months in a closet, it's not recent production.

 

 What does a Q-Tip and a little mild alchol solution/lens cleaner do to it?

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.

      Sony a6300 after shutter repair

      By dev001 · Posted

      Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
