This fault has been growing more frequent and today it's every 5 mins, I can't tell if it's the 16-35 or the camera, I have not yet replicated the problem with the 24-70fe attached.

 

I would love this hear from anyone who has had a similar problem or has any view on what the problem might be?

 

When shooting the focus blurs, Aperture value goes blank to --, viewfinder goes pure white over a few seconds as though exposure is bent dialled to the max and I need to reboot ti fix it. Sometimes it happens after I open the shutter, the camera freezes fir 15 seconds with it open as though I was doing a long exposure but when the shit is finished there is no photo and the aperture and ISO settings get back to what they were before I tried the shot?

So long that only one lens causes the problem, then its that lens. Check or clean the contacts on the lens.

 

The camera is resetting, and doing an exposure for mapping dead/hot pixels.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.

      Well this! Thank you! I have been following suggestion after suggestion for the past 3 hours with my a7CR and never thought of removing the battery. Magic!

      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.
