Body: <p>I just purchased a Sirui 50mm 1.8 anamorphic lens, the Sony E-mount version. It fits on the camera fine as expected. However, there is a lot of vignetting. It happens on both 4k and HD recording modes. Is there some kind of camera setting that will fix this? From what I've read this lens should be compatible with the a7s2.</p>
