March 27Mar 27 Has anyone had any issues with the Sony A1II having soft issues and poor focus? I initially thought it may be an issue with the 200-600mm lens/A1II combo, but I have tried several lenses and the images are terrible. I have returned multiple cameras and am now on my fourth A1II...I'm tired of returning them. Sony has been no help at all and just keep telling me I don't know how to use a telephoto lens (Even though it isn't just happening with telephoto lenses).

March 29Mar 29 This is a very slow forum, and you may be the only person here with an A1 II. That said, I try to keep up with news and issues because of Sony's typically poor attempts at firmware updates. A quick search turned up several articles, etc.: Sony A1II having soft issues and poor focus - Search

I'm going to hazard a guess: The reason Sony isn't shipping the A1 II isn't because the orders were more than they expected (a typical excuse these days from almost all manufacturers), it's because they're trying to fix the problem. I'll bet you lunch that new firmware comes out for the A1 II just before Sony ships more stock. I've been shooting an A1 for over a year and have never had any focus issues. I waited until just last month to update the firmware, I was still on the old 1.3. Sony had so many firmware failures I was afraid to. I always wait for others to try it first and see how it goes.
May 30May 30 Hello all, I have almost the same issue. Using A1II and 90mm macro Sony lens. The images I get are blurred. The focus point seems not to be the problem. Looks like the sensor cannot provide neea pixels. I précise that I have also an A7II for a long time and the pictures (same shoots) are good and sharp. I try to increase it by using creates look but the result is the same. I think I gonna make a product return (under guaranty), but before if somebody can help, thanks in advance. BR
