Had a loooooong shoot today and boy, did I make mistakes. 30ft ceilings, mirrors everywhere, wood paneling....m/43 was not cutting it with a flash and light bounce, not that I had anything else that would do the job as well. Shooting 1600 iso all day. Had little choice. Absolutely terrified to look at stuff. Even more fun, 3/4 of the way into the event, that's when my main lens decided autofocus, nah, that's for those "other" lenses. Grand. Thank goodness I over prepared and had a kit lens with me for the last 2 hours.

Don;t you just hate it when that happens.
I was booked to do a friends wedding many years ago. Just got my new Canon 20D and a Sigma 18-200 lens. Luckily I checked it out the day befor and it was front focussing like mad - really really OOF pictures. Like you, luckily I had the 18-55 kit lens with me (and another camera), so I got away with it. But I still shudder at what might have been, if I hadn't checked.

i got lucky , on another forum a guy was having problems with his godox 685s on his a7iv using TTL. so today i tested my 685 and it didnt work either including on my a6300. my last 2 pro event shoots i normally use it but i got a bit bored and bought a new godox AD100 pro for the 2 gigs, it was faultless using TTL😁 lucky boy i was the godox must have a problem, which is a good excuse to buy another toy 😎
