    HPX 370 Stock Lens Issues

    Posted by Glenn Grant on July 28, 2011 at 10:05 pm

    Has anyone had issues with the stock lens on an HPX 370? I had heard from one camera guy that he was having issues with focusing with anything over f4. I searched online and could find anything. Is this a known issue or should he have this checked out?

    Cheers,
    Glenn

    We are using the stock lens. No issues.

    As I understand it, the image will soften if shooting with a high f-number. It looks like diffraction problems at small lens openings is common. I usually dial in as much ND as I need and try to shoot around f-4 or so. That seems to be the sweet spot.
