Originally posted by ddeacon Y'all seem to be getting super clear shots on this lens wide open. I just bought it and a K70 and unless it's stopped down to f9 or higher it's not in focus and seems to get this weird colour bleed on edges. Maybe I should create a new topic but since there's a lot of people posting here figured I'd ask.Doesn't seem to make a difference what the ISO, shutter speed, focal length, raw or JPG, distance, motion correction on/off, tripod or hand held, etc is.
Welcome to PF. As Chris says, we need some images - post them with the EXIF intact. While you are doing that, some other things to address:
- Have you tried other lenses on the K-70? Any similar issues?
- Tried manual focusing? Are the images sharp then?
- Cleaned the contacts on the lens and the camera body?
- Is the lens mounting properly on the body and clicking into place?
- Did you buy the camera and lens new? Are they under warranty?
These images of our friendly resident songbirds are all taken with the DA 55-300 PLM at f6.3.
