Ooh, those shots look great, deepdiver. We'd love to see some corner crops at infinity (the problem area for M lenses.)

The drawing style looks really good with the 35/2 Biogon. :clap:I'm using Nex 5 with ZM biogon 35/2
I think this combo is really good....
All @F2
I believe the Biogon 35/2 is pretty even in its rendering and maintains sharpness into the outer corners, even wide open. It is an impressive optic, even though I am trying to go as cheap as possible here (along with the f/1.4, which I doubt a future Sony NEX lens will match), by opting for the Nokton.Ooh, those shots look great, deepdiver.

the issue douglas and i are concerned about is how the lens works on the NEX in particular, not the lenses general performance. many rangefinder lenses with a short distance from the rear element to the sensor have problems on digital in the corners that they don't have on film (due to the angle of incident light). that is why the m9 has offset microlenses on the edges of it's sensor.I believe the Biogon 35/2 is pretty even in its rendering and maintains sharpness into the outer corners, even wide open.

Sorry i did not bring the infinity photo with ZM 35 today.
I tried it yesterday, It's really good... did not see any smearing at all
will post it later.
BTW,
I do have a sample from NEX 5 + Leica SE 18 at infinity.
looks good!!
To be honest I'm a bit disappointed with the JPG quality.
Is there a way to open the RAW file?
I tried LR 3, but cannot.
Anyone?
thx
But think of the joy your brought to that penniless student.Made me very irritated.
I had all of those a couple of years ago and sold 'em for a song to a penniless student
Yeah, well, maybe and maybe not! Actually, I'm only being greedy, I could have sold them around here for much more money these days, I don't think I'd have been using them.But think of the joy your brought to that penniless student.
Certainly are - micro 4/3 and the other mirrorless cameras like the NEX have changed all that. Lot's of NEX users slavering to get hold of themDo you mean that such a set is actually worth money?
(I mean more than a couple of euro's)
I know the theory behind what you are talking about. And I believe some of the corner problems in the M cameras (and lenses) are due to the fact that they were designed decades back for film and were not digital specific designs. Once the digital age hit, they are now trying to make the old film designs perform really well under digital, which is what led to the M8 requiring to be a 1.3x sensor, even with micro-lens offsetting and the M9 requiring even more radical micro-lens offsetting design to make it work, with a 1.0x sensor.the issue douglas and i are concerned about is how the lens works on the NEX in particular, not the lenses general performance. many rangefinder lenses with a short distance from the rear element to the sensor have problems on digital in the corners that they don't have on film (due to the angle of incident light). that is why the m9 has offset microlenses on the edges of it's sensor.
