I could ignore this issue, in fact I did not notice it for a long time, since it really doesn't rear up until you are closed down more than f 4.5, and then only in light areas. (I mostly shoot wide open or thereabouts.) On the other hand, As I pointed out in the beginning thread, my Sony A7s was in for repair, and if you take away travel time and weekends, only took three days for repair. There's an alternative to the "free" repair. That's a $3500 trade in. For that, I could buy two more Sony full frame A7s cameras and Leica adapters. (I use my Summilux much of the time on my Sony) On Wed, Jun 3, 2015 at 3:19 PM, Douglas Barry <imra at iol.ie> wrote: > That is so annoying, Sonny.
