    X-E1 with Leica lens

    If you want to try a leica lens why not go for the 40mm Summicron. It is small, close in performance to the 35mm and best value for money! I take it with me as my low light lens all the time.

    price drops on the DP1Ms

    At Sigma Australia all 3 DPxMs have now a max $300 cashback offer (depending on the Sigma camera you own) but only if you have a locally bought Sigma camera. Most people don't even know that there is a Sigma Australia and I have never seen it advertised. Mind you they are actually cheaper than...

    Sigma DP2 Merrill shots

    Thank y ou Quentin for sharing these great pictures. I will be getting my DP2 next week. The main reason for my purchase was that I wanted a camera small enough to take with me all the time and an image quality that will let me print large prints ( 24x39" and larger ). Since I am not the most...

    NEX-7 problem with CZ85

    I really got curious about this issue and did some comparison shots between 5N and 7 with the 30 macro. I am not a lens or camera tester but this type of test helps me to decide on a lens or camera. I did 4 frames each, the first 4 are NEX7 the second 4 are NEX5N. The snaps were taken at f3.5...

    NEX-7 problem with CZ85

    douglasf13 said: That being said, I'd imagine that the NEX-7 corner issues may not be a big deal to some...and may not even be noticeable without directly comparing them with images from the 5N, which seems to do a better job with evenness across the whole field. If this is the case why worry...

    Now this could get interesting - rumors

    The additional rumor about the zoom being a pancake and maybe released as a lens for the Nex would be vey interesting, especially if it is a good zoom!

    Lightroom profile for 18-200mm E mount

    Thanks for your suggestions! No I have not tried it with the zoom only with Leica and Voigtlaender wide angles. Although I would love to try making my own profile I just don't have the time in the next few month.

    Lightroom profile for 18-200mm E mount

    I was not able to find a profile for the 18-200mm (Nex version). Since there is quite often mild purple fringing in the shots and occasionally distortion a profile would be handy. Today I had quite a few shots to "heal" so I tried the profile for the normal alpha lens 18-200mm and the result was...

    just curious - nex pricing forecasts

    I was at a seminar of one of the best known photographers in Singapore once and he showed only colour photos. When I asked him why he does only colour he answered: black and white is too difficult!
