Thanks. The picture is colorized (blend of B&W and color).

By the way just behind the truck is a Highway.

Uwe - I really like the truck a lot. Something about the detail in the truck combined with your chosen aperture works for me (not too OOF in the background).
Hi Uwe
+1 on the truck - great shot. mine hasn't arrived, but I'm pretty occupied with the A77, so I guess I'll survive until next weekend :D

This is kind of a swiss army knife zoom. Of course not as good as primes but not sure how often it really matters.

I am very much surprised (positive).

Love the truck too on -Casa de Fruta -. The whole series are nice!

I think/hope that 18-200 zoom will be much better balanced on the Nex7.

Holding the 18-200mm with NEX-5n is no problem for me (have smallish hands though).

Here is my setup which I use for video. Zacuto grip:

As said the grip is for video and not stills. But I also keep it while shooting stills to be able to switch to video fast.

Not something I'd usually post up, but for a jpeg slightly tweaked in LR it does show off how well the high ISO capabilities of the Nex-5n are..

Shot at ISO 3200

Fashion on Ice - Behind the Scenes with Tara Lipinski & Karolina Kurkova
Gordon Benett . . . look at those teeth!!!
good shot though - and the high ISO is great.
all the best

Well . . . I've always liked Kai's reviews at Digital Rev . . . so I ordered the camera from them late on Thursday night . . . It was delivered in the UK on Monday morning at 10.30.

I find it pretty hard to believe really - ace performance.

. . . i'm not allowed to open it until I've done some work though :(

Kai is pretty entertaining....and even though there is a lot of "show" he's done his homework in advance and knows what he wants to cover - and the content is usually relevant.

It looks like some kind of ray gun out of star wars!

discrete . . . possibly not!:)
I wish I could go back in time and give one to Cartier-Bresson :cool:

Two years ago in this forum I said the camera would disappear into the lens - this proves I was right. I also made a joke about medical uses of small cameras and got into trouble. But looking at this combination makes me wince :deadhorse:

Unless you are a different man from me the NEX 5n would make you wince too.

I was allowed 5 minutes with mine . . so of course I put on the Noctilux 0.95 for a little play with the peaking (after spending 10 irritating minutes working out how to switch it on).

To be honest . . I'm completely gobsmacked f0.95 at 1000 ISO in a darkened room is a revelation.

Now I'm going to have a go with my 35 'lux! (when I've done this bit of work I have to do :eek:)
