I got my fs 100 2 weeks ago ....and was mostly testing out my canon lenses. Now I know the kitlens is not a 2500 dollar canon L lens.
So I was thinking I might use the kitlens for some run and gun docu job...seeing it produces quality images and IS is great esp for outdoors use; plus the autofocus is fast and accurate.
But serioulsy this lens just sat there in my case and somehow collected dust or was it there all along :(
I dont see it on the first footage that I have shot. I purposely didnt point the dust particles but they are the black dots incase you're wondering what Im talking about.
Anyways I wonder if anyone has some tips of removing these dust particles from Sony e-mount lenses. Or do I need to send it back..Im in South America btw.


Another thing I noticed about Sony E mount lenses is that when you remove the lens from the camera body the aperature automatically becomes small. So basically one can't even see through the lens.

Thanks

Are you sure that the dust is in your lens and not on your sensor? One thing that I've noticed with the fs100 is that you have to be careful to keep the sensor clean.
 
Can you see the dust in the lens?

Are you sure it's not dust on the sensor?

I have a few bits of dust right in the middle of the lens and they've never been visible. Only dust on the sensor became visible shooting into the sun with a high aperture.

The kit lens barrel does pick up dust and pollen so a wipe with a cloth regularly will limit the chance of dust ingress.

I don't know if this would be a repair under warranty? Would be interested to find out.
 
Its not on the sensor cause I cant see it with my other lenses. Tokina11-16 and 5 canon glass.

I cant see it the lens because the Iris becomes/ the f stop looks like its on f22 or greater. To small to see anything through it when you remove the lens from the body.

Ok guys its on the sensor.....meh.

I popped in my 70-200 canon L lens at f32 ...at it was visible.

Whats the best way to clean this...the chip S35mm chip seems to be behind a piece of glass.Or is that the prism or chip it self ?

Thanks.
