Too early but has some CA that can be corrected in LR3.5 (no lens profile yet and not sure when).Any thoughts on the lens?
HI Matt . . . but they haven't sent it to you yet?!Uwe: Great images. I've got the GXR, but no A12 mount yet. I do agree with you, the 5N seems more versatile with a broader range of native lenses (if you need a good zoom; which I do). Good comparison above. To my eye, the A12 shot looks better. Thanks for sharing.
Jono: My 30mm macro was shipped fron SonyStyle today. SonyStyle seems to have stuff when no one else does. Apparently, according to their order summary, my NEX 7 was available on 10/5/2011?
Cheers, Matt
Thanks for this comparison, Uwe.I kind of did with the Elmarit 28mm f/2.8 Colors are are my taste of the day .
For me the difference does not really matter, The NEX-5n is more versatile. Handling goes to the A12-M, EVF to the NEX-5N and having AF lenses to the NEX-5N. So my choice is the 5N as I don't care that much about primes. If I would only use primes the A12-M has something for it.
How on earth can you tell from an imaged downsized so much for the web?Thanks for this comparison, Uwe.
I am waiting also (like so many people) for th A12 M module.
(And for the NEX7)
It looks like there is a lot more detail in the GXR image.
Agreed. But also, the difference in tone between images makes it appear that the GXR version has more detail. A warmer image almost always looks less detailed than a cooler version.Hi Michiel
How on earth can you tell from an imaged downsized so much for the web?
Well - don't reshoot it for me.There are so many variables: 1. GXRM was shot in 4:3 (lower re) and the NEX-5N maybe not focussed properly. As mentioned before I like the 5N but I am not a prime lens expert . Looked at the originals:
- GXRX looked good but slightly more noisy (better local contrast)
- NEX-5N softer (AA filter?, OOF ?)
I maybe reshoot the scene from tripod and also use the NEX 30mm Macro (30mm vs. 28mm).
Jono: It's on my 5N today. I, also, received an email saying my 50mm f/1.8 was on it's way. I'll have it tomorrow. I prefer to use a good dealer when i can; but, SonyStyle seems to have the products? Pretty straightforward website here. Now, I just need to get out and shoot.HI Matt . . . but they haven't sent it to you yet?!
SonyStyle is different in the UK. Still better to use a good dealer as far as I can see. Irritating website as well!
all the best
