I took some milky way with Sony A7RIV and Sony 16-35mm f2.8 GM. The photo shows circular color banding artifact when post-processed as shown in the following photo, taken with ISO 100, 16mm, 6" at f2.8.

Some tests are done to try to identify the source of the artifacts. All photos in the tests were taken with the lens cap on.

All photos in the above results are applied the same following adjustments.

It appears that the circular color banding happens with ultra wide angle (16-19mm).

Is this an issue of my unit or design? Is this an issue of camera or lens?

Looks like it is the in camera lens corrections for vignetting. Try turning that off and see if it still happens.

A quick test confirms it. The same enhancement in Lightroom as in the original post is applied to the photos.

Thank you very much for your hint, dbmiller.

I didn't think Sony would allow the in camera processing affect RAW, but Sony does.

Just ran into this post. I have been experiencing this issue with many a7xx camera, including a7r2 and a7III. Disabling in-camera corrections did not help. This seems to be the case on the a7r4, though. Great. Question: Some lenses don't allow turning Distortion Comp. to "off". Are those Color Polygons still gone even if that correction is (forced) on in camera? Here is a link to the discussion on this on dpreview a while back: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4359229

      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
