Re: Fun with the NEX cameras....

Two from the Yosemite workshop. NEX5 + 18-200. I've taken very few shots with the NEX as I've been working on my technique with medium format.

Rain shower over mono lake
Wow ! I wish we had canyons or parks like this in Europe / Germany....
Nice work.

Nice, Terry. I really like the first shot with the golden Aspens.

Ingo, Your concert photos with the Contax lenses are stunning .
Thx Cindy :D

I am having fun with my Sony NEX.
NEX5, Kipon adapter, Contax Carl Zeiss 35 f/2
Nice looking ! Sun + Nature :thumbs:

I used 3 weeks for a japanese trip my NEX5 + FD85L1.2.. and little by little I gave up because MF was like a pain compared to my 5DMKII..
Results were almost acceptable, but without the new firmware I wouldn't recommend NEX5 .. and the zoom is really too weak compared to a samyang14F2.8+FD50F1.4+FD85L1.2 ..
Just some various samples from this trip.

and Wales to finish :D

I didn't try the new firmware.. but actually I won't recommend the NEX5 for travelling !!! MF is like a pain compare to MF with a 5DMKII and standard zoom is really to weak compared to MF lenses (Tokura, Canon FD, Samyang, etc etc)
Whatever you say, but your pictures are really great !

The last 2 days I went on a short trip to the coast of the Netherlands.
The weather changed quite often and it was windy as hell.
But the sun and the break from work was really great !
(+ I had some fun with my Nex ;) )

PS:You have to click the MF-pictures 3 times and the vertical pic 2 times to see them in original Size (= 900 pixel on the longer side)

Just came back from Western Caribbean cruise. Shot several 100 pictures with NEX 5 (kit zoom, and Nokton 50mm f1.1), and A55 with Zeiss 16-80mm. Most pictures shot on Nov 1st on ship are are with NEX + Nokton. Nov 5th or with NEX kit zoom lens. All Beach shots are with A55 and Zeiss zoom.

This is the inside of a plastic bucket we found on the beach at high tide.



Those vertical things are critters. :eek:

Well, sorry for the slightly gross picture above. :eek:

Here are more sedate images, taken on the same day. The lens used was a pedestrian Canon FD 28 2.8, which I am rather liking.

Ingo, very nice. I especially like the fence picture. And the kite. I fly them as well, but quite a bit smaller. :)

Re: Fun with the NEX cameras....

With 16mm pancake at f/ 2.8 you can get close:


Otherwise you need to close it to f/8:


Zeiss Biogon 25 f/2.8 (closed down slightly)


Zeiss Sonar 50 f/1.5 (fully opened)

Thanks,
I can't wait now to go out with 25mm (37mm at FF) closed down, use zone focusing and try street photo. ISO can be left high, as I want B&W.

Anyone tried something like this?
