First of all, a simple discovery- the properties of the LCD protecting plastic (Sony PCK-LH1EM) makes viewing the LCD problematic due to the sides of the plastic illuminating the LCD from stray light.
So, I took out my sharpies again and painted the sides (all sides) of it black. This makes a subtle difference on a first look but practically the impact can be felt immediately.
Images now look crispier and without the glare from (sides of) the plastic protector.
The second one is in progress. This involves finding a plate with right size so that the NEX-5 rests comfortably on the left palm of my hand while I use the fingers to focus (manual focus lenses). On the plain NEX5, this ergonomics issue wrecks havoc.
