I got the A7 and 55/1.8 FE last week. The lens can deliver stunning results, but I\'m noticing some very strange behavior.
Here\'s a full size test shot to show what I mean: example
It\'s shot at F1.8 because it shows the issue the best that way. Focus was on the tree in the middle. Now look at the right side of the frame. The rooftop of the building in the background is in focus. That\'s not the case on the left side. The plane of focus seems to be all over the place.
Seems like I once again got a faulty copy or might there be something weird about the lens design?
The strange thing is that it doesn\'t show issues when shooting more in the closer ranges or stopped down enough to hide it. Even testshots of planar subjects like a wall don\'t reveal any problems.
Lloyd Chambers noticed the same issue with his copy of the lens.
How do your copies behave at these distances?
Thanks.
