p.1 #2 · p.1 #2 · AF accuracy at infinity - A7(RII)/ Batis 25 or other lenses? | |
I happened to see that customer review a few days ago and thought "hmmm, that sounds like what I've seen with the FE 55 as well", and your 2nd link mentions the FE 55.
I hadn't got as far as linking it to a specific cause of the problem, but I have certainly taken numerous pictures with the FE 55 where this could have been a reason for what I observed, which was disappointing image quality at the distance I had autofocused at, but much sharper detail closer to the camera. However, as details further from the camera are smaller, I was never totally sure if it hadn't focused correctly, or if it was just the natural effect of more distant details being harder to resolve.
I have also had this at relatively close distance with the FE 55, less than 10m away, where I autofocused on a specific subject with a small focus area, it turned green, I took the picture, but when I looked at it on the PC afterwards, it was clearly focused somewhere else, sufficiently far away from where I had the green square that it couldn't be explained by the AF system locking onto something at that distance instead.
However, when I've seen this in pictures, and done a few experiments around the house as a result, it has seemed to work fine, so I've just kind of shrugged my shoulders and been left with a nagging doubt that something isn't quite working as I'd like in some situations.
