Looking at my notes, I realized that the bottom image was taken with the Zeiss Planar ZM 50mm. Sorry for the misinformation! Here the same images again, this time in a more forum-friendly format and with all relevant technical data:Two images taken with the Zeiss Tele-Tessar ZM 85mm @ f8.0
Thanks, philber! I've been using the NEX-7 with various M-mount lenses since May last year, and it has been an eye-opener with more than one respect. I've re-discovered B&W (more or less dormant since my darkroom days), and I must say that I enjoy the process of working with purely manual lenses enormously. I've also spent much more time photographing landscapes. Previously, my focus was on wildlife (mostly birds). The small size and weight of my NEX-kit enables me to do things effortlessly that were a pain or even unthinkable previously. The image quality the NEX-7 delivers in combination with these lenses is a very welcome 'bonus', of course. I've printed the above images at a size of 24x36", and I continue to be amazed by the resulting level of detail...Great B&W, Ron! The second one is my fave!
As you probably know, the corner problems on the NEX-7 are due to the characteristics of the sensor's microlens array, which is not designed for use with non-retrofocus WA lenses of quasi-symmetrical design (i.e. those that have a rear element that sits close to the sensor, such as is the case with all Zeiss Biogons and many other M-mount WA lenses). These problems manifest themselves in two ways:I really like your "window to the sea", Ron! That said, I would love to know how you get rid of corner problems from the ZM 21 on the NEX 7.
