Photo taken at 6:37 AM on August 17, 2015 of a Doe White Tail Deer, Big Meadows, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. Image heavily cropped and taken with my tripod mounted Canon new FD 500mm f4.5 L lens and my A7r, ISO 1600, lens set to f4.5 for 1/100 second. Processed in LR6.
Broke down and ordered the 24-240, should arrive tomorrow (love that Saturday Amazon prime delivery!)
I've really been missing an all-in-one lens for general travel purposes, especially when I mountain bike or hike and don't want to constantly change lenses in the dusty desert
Hoping it's at least workable, samples here have looked good, fingers crossed!
Hi guys ..
Need tips and help ..
Have a friend who just bought Sony A7R II and Fe 35 f1.4 and Batis 85 1.8
He has big trouble with AF in low light .. it does not lock
Sometimes he think it as AF stop completely
even outdoors in better light has FE 35 not wanted to lock and has been hunting
Need some advice
Could it be something wrong with the camera?
Wrong settings?
does not feel that it would be wrong on two lenses (all the stuff is new)
How do you feel that Batis 85 1.8 Fe 35 f1.4 and A7R II AF in low light?
Locks it fast? or does it hunt ?
or camera this bad ?
Take it by PM if you don't want the discussion in the thread
Thanks

This is a link to how it behave
Batis 85 f1.8 Auto ISO AF-C flexi point S (It behave the same on AF-S and with Fe 35 f1.4 )
Holy smoke, that video clip is awful. I have no problem with both lenses on my A7r II. I would not use the single small AF spot for that kind of shot. He needs to look up online on how to turn on the face detection and/or Eye AF under those conditions. There is plenty of info online how to do that. He is using native lenses and should take advantage of the Eye AF capability offered by the system.
Thanks guys. if it dosen't get better over the weekend he will contact the dealer and get the camera exchanged ..
Joshua: Even eye focus works very bad, he says
will ask him if he can take a video with eye focus
I wonder if there might be some errors on the settings .. it seems very weird this
Wow, if the Eye AF mode doesn't work then there is something wrong with his camera then . Has he tried the face detection mode? Grappling for straw here....
