Did you get the lenses used? I have the same two Zeiss Batis lenses.
The first 18mm I got had problems and needed to be returned. They are notorious for that. It would make loud sounds when focusing.
I've read about the 40 mm sometimes having problems. Especially if you haven't updated the firmware yet. You'll need a DSLR that takes E mount lenses to update it (or borrow a friend's, which is what I did).
On the Ronin 4D side: Before updating the firmware, I noticed that I had problems with the manual calibration VS auto calibration when it came to using autofocus with each. Particularly on the 40mm. It handles close focus differently than it handles medium to longer distances. (Also, make sure you have the switch on the lens set to full range).
I recommend downgrading the firmware, and then upgrading it again. That has helped people with issues related to image noise, for example. After upgrading and confirming image performance is good, I'd delete all your profiles, delete all your lens calibrations (both auto and manual), redo all the lens calibrations, make sure you have all the lens calibrations you'll need, and only THEN making new profiles.
Because I've found that when I load up a profile, it will have all the lens calibrations I did when I saved that profile. Including lenses I don't have anymore or bad lens calibrations I deleted. |
