Hey there Everybody. Ive been lurking here for a few months, and have just never gotten around to making an account here. so here i am. 

 

My names Danny and I picked up a sony a7ii in late august. Switched over from a Canon 60D and so far, i couldn't be happier. 

 

My kit so far: 

 

Sony A7ii

Battery grip (Its nice to have that chunky DSLR feeling every once and a while)

spare batteries..... of course

Tripod

Leather straps/grips

Glidecam HD1000 for the occasional video. 

Kit lens 28-70

Picked up there 70-200 F4 G  in Late October.  I am loving this lens!

Received a lovely 28 F2 for Xmas which i am extremely excited to use. 

future plans are to pick up a few more primes and ditch the kit lens over the next year or so. 

 

 Im 23 years old and have been shooting for 3 years. Finishing up my photography certificate of completion after i finish my final course early 2016.  I am still relatively new to the photography world, but through shooting and my education has helped me learn so much, very quickly... i think :P

 

As for what i generally shoot..... Im really into cars, so thats where it all started. But I'm happy to shoot anyhting, from cars, to out doors, to people. and weddings.  anything really.  Here are a few examples of my work. 

 

A couple automotive:

I took this a few days ago with my 28 f2.  quickly hopped out of the car on the way to my cabin.

      Blurry images on Sony 70-350

      I've been using this lens extensively without any sharpness issues. At long focal lengths, you'll have to factor in the need for a faster shutter speed (< 1/500-ish at 350mm) and other factors like atmospheric distortion, fog/dust haze, etc. All these factors contribute to a deterioration of image quality at longer focal lengths.

      That's supposed to be a pretty good APS-C lens. Can you try it on a different camera just for the heck of it? Friend? Camera shop? The lens is noted for sharpness, so if you're having as much trouble as you say, you may want to look into a replacement or repair.

      Blurry images on Sony 70-350

      Hi everyone, I’m reaching out to the community because I’m facing a persistent image quality issue with my Sony 70–350mm f/4.5–6.3 G OSS lens, and I’d like to know if this is normal behavior or if my copy is defective. Problem description: I’ve extensively compared the 70–350mm G OSS with my Sony 18–135mm f/3.5–5.6 OSS, using a Sony A6700, under controlled conditions: • Identical lighting and background • Same subject and position (LEGO figure, consistent framing) • Tripod or steady support • Manual focus or AF with center point • Same shutter speed (e.g., 1/200s), similar ISO (ISO 4000–6400), RAW + JPEG • OIS turned on (and also tested with OIS off) My observations: • At 135mm, the 70–350mm G OSS delivers softer, flatter images than the 18–135mm, even when stopped down. • At 350mm, the sharpness drops significantly – the center is soft, and textures (like LEGO tiles or fabric) appear blurred or smudged. • Contrast and micro-detail are noticeably inferior across all focal lengths. • The 18–135mm at 135mm (even cropped) retains better edge sharpness and detail definition. • Both JPEG and RAW files confirm the issue – this is not just JPEG processing or noise reduction. Question to the community: • Have others experienced similar softness with the 70–350mm? • Is it possible I have a decentered or optically misaligned copy? • Is there a known issue with OSS introducing softness at long focal lengths? I wanted to love this lens due to the range and portability, but currently it’s unusable for anything where image quality matters. I’m considering returning or sending it for service. Thanks in advance for any feedback or comparison results you can share.
