I just bought for a few Euro a vintage Tamron lens for my Sony A7. 35 mm 2.8.

Because I had very good results with my new Phenix 50mm lens, I bought this Tamron lens, which should be very reasonable in results.

But after several shots outside, something was not ok. And further testing showed white lines with almost everything with a little bit of contrast. Please look at my example. Is there an explanation for it? Defective lens?

<p>Thank you all for your kind response.<br>

Just for the pocket I bought Lumix TZ8 (12MP), because of the lens. I searced fo the TZ7 (10 MP), but they were sold out.<br>

Mathiew and Bill, now I understand what they are doing with the pictures. I wished that all manufacturers used the Fuji EXR system. <br>

Fuji used longer the 1/1.7 sensor (F11) at a comfortable price, and only the more expensive LX5, S95, use something like that. Too many pixels on too little sensors.<br>

My wife made pictures with the D40 (6 mp) at the Philipines and its was surprising that they are better than my D80. Except the cropping.<br>

Conclusion: Maybe I had to buy the Fuji FX80 EXR for less noise.</p>

<p>For the pocket I bought a camera, but with the small sizes of the sensor, you mostly get free noise with them.<br>

I have a camera with 12 m pixels, but its possible to reduce it to 8 m or 5 m. When i take pics I notice that the picture has the same contense, but the resolution differs ofcourse. My question is:<br>

Does the camera use then the whole sensor or just a part of it? The crop factor seems the same, so does the camera combine several pixels to one? In that case is it possible to have less noise?</p>

<p>Bought the lens through e-bay in Poland as Samyang for Euro 181,= incl postal costs! Within 3 days delivered. No complaints. After a few days my experience was: Unsharp at 0,60cm till indefinite. But surprisingly from 0,30 till 0,50 cm it worked well. Strange, but even the long distances at 0,50 the picture were sharp. As if the scale was wrong. Aperture sharpest at 3.5(!) and 11 (?!)</p>

Gather some nice and smiling comments for the whole family, and they feel good and it will apear on your photo's. Even a single nice joke can help to make the feelings good. Not just befor taking pictures but short after the "nice getting to know you". Think about the setting, housely, modern, clean etc. etc.

You can use some attributes to brake the lines. F.i. : a family picture, and the youngest has a balloon, doll oslt. ect. Just my two cents.
