Re: Fun with the NEX cameras....

I get so darned enamored taking pictures of rocks.....I guess it's all those years pursuing that geologist's degree.






NEX 7 + Konica UC 28/1.8

Taylor,
It is really interesting to see the rendering of the different lenses in the hand of the same photographer. It takes out the unknown of differing post-processing skills. I especially like the rendering of the 50mm Planar. The 90mm Contax G is one of my all-time favorite lenses, and I really like how it rendered the truck.
Taylor: +1 on the truck and the night view to Queen Anne from 'Downtown' Ballard! :thumbs:

Cheers, Matt

Re: Fun with the NEX cameras....

...Inspiring me to contribute a pretty much alternative program. Since it's the last week of winter now, three more pictures proving, that winter also can show some beauty (for me at least):

Hope you like them and thank you for your interest.
Hermann: Nice set of photos! I especially like the disorder/order in this one. The anarchic geese make a nice foreground for the pristine white palace(?) and vice versa. The tone's perfect. :thumbup:

Cheers, Matt

Re: Fun with the NEX cameras....

Here is a series of six shots taken with NEX-7 and Leica 24mm Summilux.
I called it Game of Shadows.












Thanks :salute:

Hi all! Great pictures everybody.

Here are some of my faves from recent shootings w/ the Nex cameras, trying to get a sample of different lenses on both the 5N and 7.


7 w/ Zeiss Planar 2/50 ZM
Very nicely coloured evening shot with those beautiful typical Zeiss starlights!

Thanks Matt! What a fantastic trip you're having in India!

In the woods.
Shot with the Minolta MD 24/2.8. A good lens for the NEX-7 since I better not use the Zeiss Biogon 25 on this camera.

Not completly sharp but I like the different light sources from the windows.

Great shots everyone. I have a question though: does anyone shoot sports (soccer (football), swimming, basketball, football (American) with the nex cameras? If so, please post them.

Thanks.

Nice snappy contrast and great greens in those St Patrick shots Cindy. How did MF with the Nex work for an event like that? I guess I would have chickened out and taken AF lenses but these pics seem to indicate you've got the skill down pretty well.

Two from me where MF would have worked well, but still taken with AF:

Plaze España in Madrid:


A street artist that kept looking at me, mainly afraid I wouldn't put my dues in his little can :loco:

Nice shots. I am so used to manual focus after years of rangefinders, TLRs and manual lenses on SLR's. I have the focus peaking set to low/yellow, so that is an aid, too. I don't own an AF lens for my NEX right now, but I do have the kit lens coming with my NEX7 this week. At a parade, you could just set the aperture to f/5.6 or 8 and stay in the DOF.
 
Re: Fun with the NEX cameras....

Thank you, Hermann. I especially like the way you composed this one. The building (palace?) is beautiful.
Cindy: Thanks a lot for the kind feedback, really much appreciated! :salute: (It's Schloss (=palace) Nymphenburg in Munich.)

Hermann: Nice set of photos! I especially like the disorder/order in this one. The anarchic geese make a nice foreground for the pristine white palace(?) and vice versa. The tone's perfect. :thumbup:

Matt: Quite presentable for pictures taken with a clunker lens :thumbup: (which I own as well BTW and which pleasantly surprised me regarding the results so far - never would have bought such a 11x-zoom for the Nikons :)).

Re: Fun with the NEX cameras....

Thanks Matt and Michiel! The 50/2 ZM is definitely a keeper as well.

I'm also so far really happy with the CV Nokton 35/1.2, I just got it to replace the Biogon 35/2 ZM which had magenta shift issues. So far I don't see any corner issues with this one, though at 1.2 there is a general pinkish cast over the whole image, which is trivial to adjust for.

Here's one of my favorites from this weekend:

Nex-7, Voigtlander Nokton 35/1.2


Check out the "original" size to see the detail from this lens - I don't remember the aperture, probably 5.6 or 8 however.

Pegelli: Thank you. And yes it is pretty dirty -- and the sad part is that it's practically new. I'm pretty sure all the grunge was there when I got it. If I'd realized just a bit sooner, I'd probably have tried to return it for one that wasn't quite so dirty.
