strange issue, but successful in selling more gm lenses or newer loxia copies
The problem appears to really only occur with the A1, and in some ways it is odd to use a manual focus lens like a Loxia on that AF Godzilla anyway. But knowledgeable photographers in this thread report excellent results with the Loxia on the A1's sensor and want to use it there, so.... In fairness to Loxia, the problem is also reported in the above thread to crop up with some Voigtlander lenses.
I don't usually mount Loxia on my A1. After reading this, I tried my Loxia 21, 25, 50, and 85 on the A1 and all seemed to function perfectly as expected in the magnify mode. So, some lenses seem to have the problem and others not. Or, maybe some A1's have the problem and others not? And some of my Loxia are not newer ones. But some in the thread also report that the problem can be intermittent, so perhaps I'll get worse results next week.
That makes me wonder if there might be some particular set of settings on the A1 that produces the problem. That might account for how much variability there is in the occurrence of the problem. There are not infrequently odd buggy interactions in complex software.
The Loxia lenses produce such beautiful results and it is possible now, with so many lenses for Sony users to choose from, to find good used copies at good prices.
