I tested my Batis 18 since the repair and it appears sharp right at infinity. I remember when I shot the Milky Way in Death Valley with Travis, I had to manual focus before the infinity mark.

That’s good it’s sorted. Sounds like it’s dialled in now

You used your 16-35 GM too...IIRC.

My B18 made that focus noise again last night...kinda disappointed in that TBH. I will have to see if it does it again. It was in the middle of a timelapse...I thought it was the GEnie, but it was the B18, I had forgotten to turn AF off.

Golden hour surf session last evening down at the wave. Such a great resource to have only a few minutes away from the house!

Oh I think you’re right. It was my GM not my Batis.

Oh no! You had yours repaired previously right?

nope, none at all...in fact, the OLED on both the B18 and B25 are the best for shooting at night. Both of mine hit critical focus just as it turns over to infinity on the scale. It makes it so easy. I used both of them last night, the B18 was on the A7III doing timelapse and I had the B25 on the a9 doing stills, star trails and a timelapse.

Thanks for that. I'll definitely use my Batis for star shots in the future now.

And a lot less traffic or having to hunt to find a place to park like the beaches here in California.

Was that at 24mm David? Beautiful reflections and light.

Yes, I believe I was zoomed all the way out. Thanks!

How hot has it been at your house lately?

dude...you and your family have one active and awesome lifestyle...it makes me want to make some wholesale changes...my 9 year old is as lazy as the day is long now...and I blame myself for it.

Yep, I had it repaired and had a real WTF moment last night when I heard that noise again.

It is still crazy hot today. Kids wanted something for lunch so I made a quick frittata and took couple of shots. I did stick some veggies in there so they can eat them.

Yeah, the whitewater park is 4.5 miles from our house so very quick drive and park right at the waves. When the wife and I are at work the kids load up the bikes and ride down there in 20 min or so. They can’t get enough of it. Not sure where they got that....
