I have one lens which for some reason doesn't seem to be working correctly on my arca setup. I'm not exactly sure how the Kapture Group cable works (and why it plugs into the lens), but I'm assuming something is wrong in the lens so the cable/back doesn't detect the shutter tripping. I always assumed the wakeup cable just triggered the back slightly ahead of the camera, seems the sync from the lens would always be slightly after shutter is fully open so using it as the trigger would mean the shutter speeds were slight shorter than set. Maybe that delay is insignificant ...
I thought zero latency was a mode on the back which made the wakeup cable unnecessary (basically leaving the chip active, with the caveat of short battery life and possibly extra noise), and while I can make a capture this way, the resulting files look really strange ... not sure if that's normal and can be fixed in post or what is going on there.
So is it the lens? If so, any suggestions/workarounds until later in the year when I can be without it long enough to get repaired greatly appreciated. (fortunately it's my 150 and my least used lens).
