Yesterday, I took a drive to one of the most remote, beautiful places I've ever visited in our state, Glade Creek Trail. It's a rather rough trail for a bike ride, but the scenery is second to none. Glade Creek is a wild, roaring stream that is both swift and deep. It also has a lot of small cascades flowing off the hillsides, and one particular scene caught my eye.
I set my A7II + Konica AR 28/3.5 on my tripod, low to the ground to get a better perspective. Checked the focus in the EVF, everything looked spot on. Fired off a few images using the timer, previewed them, and they looked OK. Got home, and found they were all out of focus. Don't know what I did wrong, but you can see the foreground is out of focus, while the log in the background is in focus. I was very disappointed, because I really like this composition.
Lately I've found my keeper rate with MF lenses seems to have dropped. I've used legacy lenses for a long time, but I've lost out on some images because of my technique. The images I took with my G80 and PL 12-60 yesterday had no such issue. Might be time to chuck my Konica lenses on eBay and invest in an e-mount lens after all.
