    A7/r lens recommendations 90-135mm

    For 135mm, I use a Tele Elmar M 135/4, with a calibrated Metabones M to E adapter.

    Zeiss Opton Sonnar 50/1.5 in NEX mount

    Recent purchases are forcing the sale of this unique vintage Sonnar 50/1.5 in Sony NEX mount. The lens was produced by Zeiss Opton around 1950 at the Oberkochen facility. It has the T coatings and the glass is in very good shape with no cleaning marks. The Zeiss glass from this period had...

    NEX-6 discussion

    As a NEX-7 user with the latest firmware and LR with the Flat Field plug-in, I'm still interested in the image quality of the NEX-6 and rangefinder wides such as the C-V 15/4.5. The link to a full sized image looks pretty good, but is a NEX-6 OOC jpg doctored in any way? it would be nice to...

    Questions: MF lens methodology on the NEX 7

    While the LCD will tilt all the way out for over the head use, you are probably refering to waist level use, looking down at the LCD? If that is the practice 100% of the time, then maybe the grip will not help, but I don't think the grip will hender control of the camera.

    Questions: MF lens methodology on the NEX 7

    Anyone using Elmarit 135mms?

    Some authorities claim the Tele-Elmar 135/4 is better optically than the 135/2.8, but I'm sure it performs well. I have had 2 Tele-Elmar 135/4's for years. One in its native M mount and a special Tele-Elmar in EF mount. It is almost APO performance and is about optimum at one stop down at f/5.6.

    Bullish on Sony

    Even though the NEX-7 doesn't perform well with my M mount wides, I'm still bullish on the NEX-7. I never used a NEX-5n, so I can't comment, only that the user interface and EVF of the 7 is important to me. I also think I'm not missing anything yet as far as Fuji is concerned. I too have a...
