Something strange happened when I was taking this shot, it was like the Nex-7 had forgotten which lens was mounted because it didn't precess the image correctly. It's true that this lens has a lot of distortion at the wide end and then it's corrected in-camera before being saved to the card. I messed around with the camera and lens for about 5 minuts but I couldn't get the correction to work correctly. I just turned the camera off in the end, and took the lens off. I mounted it again and then it worked. This happened to me again a couple of times, and that's after cleaning the contacts on both the lens and camera. I'm not sure if it's a lens problem or if the camera is at fault and since I've only got one Nex-7 camera I can't really troubleshoot this any further. What I can do though is mount the lens on a Nex-5n and see what happens.
That is something I'm going to do shortly and see what happens. I'll post some images from that combination as soon as I can find the time to do it and report back. If it turns out that I don't have any problems on a Nex-5N then I must admit that it's the Nex-7 that's at fault but I have no idea how I can rectify the problem. Maybe it was only a one time thing, like the software had a hiccup and resetting evrything solved the problem. You never know with these things.
Anyone else out there with a similar experience?
