Oh sorry. All were shot manual focus from the hip. First one was the 50mm f1.8 nikkor e-series, second was the 70mm f2.8 pentax 110 auto lens, and the last was the 24mm f2.8 pentax auto 110 lens. That last shot was actually caught almost as a pan as I was in motion walking in the opposite direction.

This is a bit OT, but Capture One 6.3 is now supporting NEX-5N raw files. Here is one that I just ran through C1 as a trial and exported a full size jpg for peeping. I prefer using LR and I'm just exploring various raw converters while waiting for Adobe.

Nice street shooting Pete.
Beautiful images Ocean. The Contax G28 is one of my favorite lenses.
The dpreview comparometer now has NEX-5N images. So, any surprises? I was surprised that the Canon 18 mp images looked better at high ISO. Too bad that dpreview doesn't use the same lens on all the images it uses on the comparometer.

Well, this was a first - Austin City Limits festival with a mirrorless camera and manual focus adapted lenses. I usually show up with my Canon and a 35mm 1.4 L and a 70-200 2.8 IS but this year decided to shed some pounds and give the NEX a shot. Each of the three days I brought the following three lenses:
1. Contax 35mm f/2 G or Contax 28mm f/2.8 C/Y mount - I switched between days
2. Minolta Rokkor-X PG 50mm f/1.4
3. Minolta m-mount 90mm f/4
You can see the full set here: ACL 2011 - a set on Flickr
And here are a few of my favs:
Can't rave enough about the 5N. Simply amazing little camera.

Thanks Carl. I am happy that I kept all my Contax G lenses. Unfortunately, the G21 Biogon is not fully usable on NEX-5N.

I hope it is allowed but the photographs here just blew me away. I know Las Vegas is a very thankfull non ecological location of course.
But I cannot buy just any camera I like :deadhorse:
Just bought into the Ricoh GXR system, besides my GH2, system for the A12 M module en the 28mm module.
I was gonne wait for the NEX7
Exiting times!

Nice work with the 5N Showperformance.
Nice. I like the B&W conversions.
I didn't get a chance to cut the plastic pegs on the G21 Biogon.
All the images below are taken with Contax G lenses (G28 at f11, G45 at f5.6, and G90 at f4). I'm really glad that I kept all the G lenses, especially the G28.

BTW, I was reading the release notes on the latest version of Capture One Pro (6.3.1) and they already have support for all of the new NEX cameras (including the NEX-7) and the A77 & A65 RAW formats.
This will need tweaking as the final format of the NEX-7 materializes, but i am itching to try it out!
UPDATE: I can read A77 RAW files but not NEX-7. Oh well.

Very nice images Uwe. I agree about the EVF and they seem to be getting better with each iteration. Still prefer built-in as opposed to an attachment, but I can get by with this one until the 7 makes an appearance. That 18-200 looks quite good considering the range.
