IMHO, if it is a pice of gear you would spend your own cash on to own, it is entirely possible to accept a free one and give a trustworthy pros and cons review. :-)

Doug, have you experienced any back focus issues?

Doug Jensen · November 10th, 2017, 09:05 AM

No, not with any of the Sony camcorders that I have owned or used, including the Z90, Z150, EX1, EX1R, Z7, etc.

They send me the ones with backfocus issues, Doug gets the good ones. :-P

Speaking of backfocus issues, Sony sent us a demo PXW-X180 that at wide angle must be manually focussed to 1m close hard stop for infinity...ugh...SONY!!!

It does seem rather odd that you keep getting the lemons.
