Lensbaby

Hi everyone

I'm an old Lensbaby fan from older times. I have both old and these new lens/optic systems.

From the begining of my Edge 80 route I have been in a exposure problem with composer pro and Edge combination. Always, when tilting the optic to those side positions, exposure is moving to loger times and as well to over exposures. Exposure varies several f-stops.

An yes I'm using mostly Av-mode and Canon 5DmkII body.

Do You others have same kind of problems or am I alone with this?

Hi,

I just bought Edge 80 and have the same problem as yours. the other problem is white balance, when stopping down an apprerture to 8 up to 22, the picture turns to be more orange.

Thanks,I´m not alone.

I have solved problem with all manual settings. It is not as easy as Av and Awb, but it works.

There must be something with Canon sensors, I guess.

I use double glass optic and yes, i think I am having similar problem as well. Switching to spot metering may help a little, but yea, need to work with manual mode.

With the Edge 80 in particular, metering can be a little wild b/c of the extreme tilt and the way the light hits the meter. This is typical with any tilt-shift lenses. When I'm using Edge 80 I always shoot in manual, take a test shot at what I guess will be a good shutter speed for exposure, and then adjust accordingly when I see how it turns out on the LCD and histogram.
