Hello All, Thanks in advance for your help on this. To start, I've been a sony user for a while now and up until recently thought I mastered my A7rii. I recently upgraded my system to the A7iii and having a great deal of buyer remorse. My primary reason for the upgrade is that the rii didn't perform as well in low light as everyone knows. Even the riii has the same issue and as I shoot a lot of interiors of homes, aircraft and luxury yachts, there are always very dark shadows. Having said that, between a Rokinon 12mm T2.2 lens. shooting slog2, premiere pro and neat video, I have been able to create some very nice video. With the A7iii, this is not the case. I am getting a lot of artifacts and color distortion in the footage. At first I thought maybe the lens, so I put on a Sony 16-35mm f2.8 lens (in Canada, plus$3000 lens) and I get the same issue. I've tried a Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 and again the exact same problem as the 12mm. If I set the scene, right now the test is in a newly renovated kitchen. White walls, and main cabinets are white. The island is a very dark almost black blue. In the corners of the white I get color variations and on the blue island you can actually see chunking almost really back banding with square blocks. The Stainless steel refrigerator is the same as on a bright day, you can actually see with the eye, almost a rainbow effect. And it's not just slog2. I've wanted to shorten my workflow, so I have tried Cine 4 and the new HLG specifically HLG2 and I get the exact same results. I've reset my camera twice and am on v3.0 of the firmware. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciate. Robert

What are the best wedding prime lens combination for A7iii, good color and dof

Hey guys, I wonder if anyone can help me with this, I've finally managed to figure out how to colour grade S-Log 3 footage from my A7III and I'm really happy with the results I'm getting in DaVinci Resolve. However, when I export the footage the shadows look very pink. This is not how it looks in the program and the only person I can find with a similar issue is the YouTiber Matti Haapoja. Even then, I'm still experiencing far more prominent issues with the footage. I've tried correcting for the pink shadows with curves, tints to green and overexposing the image to the point that the footage doesn't look very good. If anyone knows what's going on and knows how to fix it please let me know.
