Video af not working with sigma mc11? Hi, I’ve been using a sigma mc11 adapter to use my ef mount lenses on my a7ii and its been fine other than the fact that the af just doesn’t work at all with video. When I take a video, the lens doesn’t even try to focus. I don’t know if I’m doing anything wrong or if this is just something the sigma adapter isn’t capable of. Any help would be a…

APS-C Compact Camera with EVF, IBIS and good AF – no options besides Fuji? Upcoming vacation and need advice. I have an upcoming long vacation in Asia and as a preface will take my Nikon ZF with me. Since it’s a bit bulky I can imagine that there will be days where I’d rather have something smaller to take on hikes or day trips. I did a lot of research and have the following thoughts: The Fujifilm X100VI seems perfect but it’s impossible to get within …

What is a good lens to go with a Canon EOS R8 for good quality 4k60p video and high-quality photos, able to pick up dark areas too, has a good optical zoom of at least over 4x, has constant auto-tracking AF for vehicles and its AF and zoom is silent for recording? I know I’ve asked this question before but I always never specify enough so I don’t get many answers, just questions on what kind of thing I’m looking for. I’m looking for a lens that has the specifications I have put in the title and that could be in the price range of £300 – 900. The lens should hopefully take good quality videos and photos fr…

Autofocus with an IBIS camera and non AF lenses? So I heard that with IBIS cameras as the sony a6600 or a6500 you can autofocus with non AF lenses as vintage ones or just “normal” cheap lenses without autofocus. If so, would it make sense to go for an a6600 instead of an a6400 and get cheaper non AF lenses? (I can get the a6400 for around 550€ used and the a6600 for around 800€) submitted …

Travel camera for Japan? Professional photographer, but I need a compact camera with good AF. Good morning everyone. I’m a professional photographer, and this august I’m going for a 15 days trip to Japan. I’d love to bring with me a camera, but don’t want to bring with me my Sony A9, nor the A7 IV. I’d like a camera with hassle-free weight and use, with a very good image quality and fast autofocus. I want to clarify that I would like to …

Is there anyway to add af functionality to my Old vintage af lens? I have a Nikon AF NIKKOR 28-85mm f/3.5-4.5 Zoom Lens . I bought ut thinking its a cheap way for me to use my nikon d5100 with af. Only for me to find out apparently that vintage af lenses dont work on d5100’s. Is there any adaptor that would give af functionality or is this like one of those lenses that dont have an internal focus and the camera…

What is the difference between Phase Detection AF performance in a mirrorless camera and a DSLR as of the latest AF systems? I understand there are two main ways in which autofocus systems work: contrast and phase detection. Some older mirrorless cameras used exclusively contrast detection, whereas DSLRs of the same era had phase detection widely available. From my understanding of the two, contrast detection is exactly what it sounds like, detecting contrast in an i…

Help! Canon 6D Mk II AF only working in full auto mode, and won’t focus when in any other mode. How can I fix? I’m on the road headed to see the eclipse and in need of advice on what to check to fix this. Everything was fine a couple weeks ago, but I was playing with some settings recently, and am wondering what I might have done to screw it up. In any mode except full auto, it doesn’t even try to focus. submitted by /u/agent_uno

AF not working anymore Hi, my newly bought Pentax 80-320mm suddendly stopped working. The camera doesn’t show the aperture and the Auto Focus isn’t working anymore. The exif Data does not show any lens information. The lens doesn’t work on both of my cameras, while any other lens works on both. I already cleaned the contacts, but they already seemed to be clean. s…

Fuji vs Sony – is there really that much difference in menus, AF, and colors I specifically want answers from people who have used both systems and recently (as it seems sony have closed the gap in menu/colors in recent models, as fuji has with AF). Is there still much meaningful difference in the menus, colors, or AF or is it more a case of aesthetics, and feel (dials, profile, etc.). Lastly, lenses: there are certain…

Canon 100mm f2.8 USM AF Question Hi all, I recently purchased a secondhand Canon Macro 100mm f2.8 USM lense and the autofocusing seems to be much choppier than I’ve seen with my other lenses. This is my first USM/non-IS lense and I’m aware it’s older, so I’m unsure if it’s behaving correctly or if I should return it. I haven’t been able to find clear videos showing the AF motor…

Canon – Spot AF point inaccurate? Hi, I did a photoshoot with my 7D Mark II and 50mm 1.8 II this morning with a (non-center) Spot AF point, using One-Shot AF of course. When I got home and reviewed the photos, I found that a decent amount of them were NOT focused on the point I’d selected in-camera and instead were a decent amount off. None of them had focused on the background …

I just tried this and it was cakey af. Did I do something wrong? I don’t wear makeup often and saw this on sale and was like hey let’s try it. My baby shower is tomorrow and people are going to be taking lots of pictures so I wanted to do a dry run and man am I glad I did. I loved it when I first applied the initial dots or whatever you call them, matched my skin perfectly, but as I started to blend… blech It…

Weird AF problems with Canon M50 + EF-M 55-200mm lens, please help This problem started few days ago. Basically autofocus is not working between 70mm and 100mm. At 55mm it works, then I extend the lens to 200mm and it still works, then I bring it back to 100mm and it doesn’t work. My other lenses don’t have any autofocus problems, so I think the issue is in the lens, not the camera. Please help if you know abo…

Anyone Have Experience with Viltrox AF lenses? I’m in the market for an ultra wide prime, and I just bumped into the 16mm f1.8. I was previously interested in Sony’s 14mm, as I love the perspective distortion, but at a $600 price tag, it’s hard to not consider this close alternative. I’m making this because I bought a Samyang 135mm f1.8 back in April, and even though all the reviews I watch…

Looking to get a mirrorless Nikon. Do all lenses with a built in AF work with the FTZ adapter? In regards to autofocus. Specifically I’d like to know if my Tamron 17-50 F2.8 would be able to autofocus properly since it’s not produced by Nikon. submitted by /u/Joey_Macaroni

Nikon n4004s and nikkor af lens – how do i set aperture in aperture priority mode? Hey all I have a nikon n4004s film camera and a nikkor af lens (35-70mm f2). I usually shoot in auto mode, but I want to start using aperture priority where camera selects shutter speed and i set aperture. My question is, how do I set aperture?
