They look good. That lens is fine. It gets a bad rap all the time but you just proved all those idiots wrong.
Thanks.... Don

Not as close up, but more evidence that the 18-55 can shoot with detail if you ask it to 
Hi,
Some really nice shots in this series.
I'm looking at purchasing a NEX and was wondering whether you had the Tamron 60/2 in Sony mount (which I have) and using it with the Sony a->e adaptor?
If so, could you comment on how well it AFs with the adaptor? If not, just your general comments regarding the lens in use with the NEX would be great.

I tried the Sony adapter for Alpha mount to E- mount. It is incredibly slow, maybe 3-4 seconds, and not small either. I don't think that calling this "AF" fairly represents the system's capability (or, in this case, lack of).
Regarding the 18-55, I agree. For a lens of this type and cost, it is very good indeed. Just don't expect it to outperform a Zeiss or Leica prime.
Here is a close-up with the excellent Zeiss C/Y 35-70 f:3.4

sushi kamon is ok. you should check out oshima in tustin. much better than kamon.Here are two close-up images taken at my favorite Sushi joint
I will have to check that place out then
. Thanks!No, no flash at all. The shots were taken using just available light and the WB was adjusted in LR later on. Thanks!
I don't know the answer to your question if you meant radio triggering outside flashes. Sorry. Generally, I dislike flash photography anyway. Although my NEX system is fairly new but I have not used the flash for except for testing and to make sure that it works. The on-board flash is capable of trigger simple slaved flash or flashes but I am not sure what kind of role the NEX flash will play in terms of output.

No, I meant by a slave trigger that uses t light from one flash to trigger a second flash independantly. "the onboard flash is capable to trigger simple slaved flash"....THIS is what I'm trying to tie down,...I have been told that NEX always uses a preflash before the main flash,..if that is the case then NEX will NOT be able to use slave becasue the second flash head will fire with teh NEX's preflash...ie., with shutter still closed.......(??)
Aaah, OK then. I don't remember whether the NEX flash fires pre-flash or not. I can try it at home later on and post my findings here. In the meantime, maybe there are others that can chime in.
