Okay Okay Okay - as a service to the forum I've bought one of these little buggers - I shall now do some testing on various M lenses, just for Douglas's benefit.
WATE
MATE
28 'cron
35 'lux and summarit
50 'lux
75 'cron
90 elmarit
unfortunately I dont have the adapter yet!
Such altruism:ROTFL:
bring the camera to Belgium -- with the M adaptor!
one of the things i'd really like to see is the quality with older M lenses -- how the NEX handles the lower contrast, increased micro-contrast.
on some digital sensors, the older lenses can look muddy whereas others seem to shine with finer detail (as long as you do proper PP).
i'd especially like to see them with some higher ISO shots (which are always very tricky)... anyways, i have a handful of oldies but goodies for you to play with. off the top of my head:
25/3.5 Canon
v.1 35 'cron
pre-asph 35 'lux
50 'lux (second version)
E58 Nocti
75 'lux
i imagine the Super Angulon is too deep, though, non?
