Can we see some long shots, full size at f/3.5?I have no problems with the 30/3.5 macro on my NEX-7. It is not a dog like the 16/2.8 (it was a dog on the NEX-5 as well).

You seem to be stirring the pot on this, here and dpreview. Having used Canon and Nikon DSLR lenses in the past, my expectations for corner sharpness are not as high. I don't see this issue with Alpha lenses on the NEX being that big of a deal, which it appears everyone who are experiencing this are using. Luckily, I mainly use E lenses on my NEX-7 so this whole thing is a non-issue for me. Most buyers of the NEX-7 probably do not own Sony Alpha DSLRs so they probably will never experience this issue. Again, this appears to be a non-issue for most people. You can always wait for the NEX-7 with microlenses on the sensor.Nex-7 a bridge too far....
I had one ordered twice! TY god they were delayed. First time i just got a 5n. Second delay i just got cold feet
This issue is about to explode.
Samples which clearly show the issue would sure be nice.....
I don't think Charlie is stirring the pot. We're all just trying to determine what and how bad the issue is. Initially the NEX-7 issues seemed to be with rangefinder lenses, but now Photozone is having issues with both Alpha and E-mount lenses on the NEX-7, so it applies to you as well.You seem to be stirring the pot on this, here and dpreview.

Not sure what you mean by amusing? Klaus does the testing for Photozone with Imatest, and his results so far are certainly interesting.I looked at the links you posted, Douglas.
Amusing.
Waardij: My suggestion to you is to stay out of that place. It was amazing to see how you were convinced that the 85/1.4 behaves poorly on the NEX-7. Your experience of the 8-16 Sigma zoom on the NEX-7 was just ignored.
Those threads read like some voodoo stuff.
when you have the chance please take hard look at edges wide open.No issues with Contax G 45,Leica R 60, Leica R 35-70 f:3.5, Contax G 90.

Finally, and more to the point, the NEX-7′s image quality is indeed much higher than the NEX-5N. Be sure to click the individual frames to view the difference in detail between the two cameras. Here’s the deal: not only does the NEX-7 have 50% more pixels than the NEX-5N, but per-pixel sharpness also seems slightly higher, as if the AA filter was slightly less strong on the 7. I’d love to see large prints compared to the Leica M-9 and Nikon D3x.
I still don't understand your point. We're talking about one of the more notable lens testing sites in Photozone, and they use Imatest. It isn't as if it's a random forum poster eyeballing shots and saying, "nope, not sharp." Klaus got a second Nex-7 to test in order to make sure it wasn't sample variation or a defect, and he also used a couple of different Sony brands adapters.Amusing because someone went and bought a camera, "tested" it, returned it, bought a second sample and is trying to sell it for 1000 euros.
In the EU there is a 2 year warranty. He should have reclaimed his money under warranty if it was faulty. He should have returned all his lenses too for a refund.
It was amazing that he would just ignore others saying what their experience was with their NEX-7 and lenses and instead plant poison on susceptible minds.
Voodoo.
PS: OTOH, if such rumors and insinuations bring down the prices of the 7, I will not be sad as I plan to pick up at least one more body.
I don't see that being the case at the pixel level. Either way, I'd love the extra resolution, even if it really takes tripod shooting to reap most of the benefits of it. I just want the resolution to be more even across the image field with my lenses.Seems like the 7 beats the 5N on per pixel sharpness. The crops at F4 are especially telling, the 7 is just so much more detailed.
#89. Battle of the tiny Titans: Sony NEX-5N vs Sony NEX-7 | Dear Susan,
I believe that he's planning on doing a Photozone report on it.Anyone got a link to where 'Klaus' has posted his test images?
