that's looking pretty good! a little easy to correct CA but no smearing. f/1.4 doesn't look great at infinity but you're not going to find a lens in this price class that will - plus who shoots f/1.4 at infinity.
good pointwho shoots f/1.4 at infinity.
Yeah, F8 seems to look great at infinity, so I'm happy. I don't think my Sony 50mm 1.4 does any better in the corners on my A900. I'm glad I took the risk and already ordered the CV 35 1.4that's looking pretty good! a little easy to correct CA but no smearing. f/1.4 doesn't look great at infinity but you're not going to find a lens in this price class that will - plus who shoots f/1.4 at infinity.
Does your source have any info on possible add-on EVF for NEX 3/5?Hey, just got some good information about new lenses. A reliable source from which I have got some right information in the past has told me, Sony will bring up 4 new lenses with E-mount at the Photokina. One of them will be a 70mm f1.8 macro which will go on sale this year for about 700 (euros, I don't know the dollar price).
I wasn't able to get exact information about the other three, but I expect one or two with fixed focal length (maybe 35 and 45mm) and maybe a telezoom or a good Zeiss. The informations are really solid.
Also interesting: Sony isn't planning another NEX-camera for 2010, so the NEX-7 won't come up this year. I got this information for the blog I'm writing for (www.Apfelwahn.de), and this source was right everytime I can remember.
What do you think: what the other three lenses will be?
Hmm ... nothing he has told me. I'm going to ask about it the next days. But hasn't Sony said the port doesn't support an EVF? Or would it be possible with an firmware update?Does your source have any info on possible add-on EVF for NEX 3/5?
Thanks a bunch for these. The lens certainly looks promising. And after one factors in the price, the max aperture and the petite size, it comes across as a sure winner in my book.Just managed to take some quick snaps outside my work... focused at infinity...
Have Sony said this? I'm hearing persistent reports (rumors) that an EVF is in the planning. Sure would be nice to know definitively. I'm certainly counting on buying a couple for my NEX 5s.But hasn't Sony said the port doesn't support an EVF?
Looks very good, only issue I would have is I'd want closer focus. But any other option at that speed/price are going to be SLR lenses and much bigger.Thanks a bunch for these. The lens certainly looks promising. And after one factors in the price, the max aperture and the petite size, it comes across as a sure winner in my book.
Could you point to some source that says the port doesn't support an EVF ? It is certainly a powered port and even the flash draws its power from there and clearly there is communication between the flash and the camera via the port.Hmm ... nothing he has told me. I'm going to ask about it the next days. But hasn't Sony said the port doesn't support an EVF? Or would it be possible with an firmware update?
