The APO-TELYT results in approx. 200mm focal length in full-frame terms. The above shot is actually un-cropped. I do have the Hawk's helicoid adapter as well, but I don't use it very often. This is for two reasons:Another great one, Ron! Are you using a Hawk's helicoid adapter to get closer, or is that a crop? BTW, I am using it, and it give me gret results.
Many thanks! I like many of your images. I have a soft spot for ships, boats (the older the better) and the sea. Unfortunately, we don't have much of that around here...Good read, Ron! And nice work.
Interesting! I agree, NEX RAWs are wonderfully malleable in post - much more so than those of the Canon 5DII.Yesterday I went out with three cameras on the same subject. I have to regret to say it but the NEX-7 files, although they are very flexibel in PP, are in the third place. (compared to Ricoh GXR and DP2m)
But I love the camera in use and it is a great adapter for all kinds of Alt lenses.
(And the files are good enough)
The body, which is very nice and sturdy, is so cheap but the M mount module is not so, around €500,-Are you using the Mount A12 module on the GXR? I've always found the concept of the GXR very interesting, but have never had the chance to try one...
Same here.....I'm thinking of renting a Leica M once it becomes available. I'm very curious how it will compare to the NEX-7 and how my M-mount lenses draw in the peripheral regions on a FF sensor. But the results would have to be nothing short of amazing to justify the price of the camera...
I don't know how big you print but I think 60 x 80 cm prints will still be very exeptable from the Ricoh. BTW the Sigma DP2M is very good for B&W as well.Since I do a fair bit of large-format printing, I very much like the high-res files of the NEX-7. I would only replace it with a camera that features a sensor with 20MP or more (and featuring noticeably higher IQ, of course). I would really like to see a full-frame NEX, but I have my doubt's that will ever happen. IMO, Zeiss should work with SONY on a digital IKON with the same sensor used in the RX-1. That would be exciting!
Thanks Ron!Great shot, Michiel! I was wondering: what adapter do you use with your C/Y lenses?
