Fun with NEX-7

[ptomsu]

After seeing all these images I think I should also get a NEX-7.

What would be the most preferable Sony lens for it? Above that I would use it with my M glass collection, so what is the best adapter?

Thanks

Peter

HI Bob
Lovely clean shots

Carlos - you will not show me shots with that lens - I already have the A mount f2 and the Leica f1.4 . . . I do NOT need another 24mm!

Terry - congratulations on yours as well. How are you getting on?

Peter - it's the same old Sony colour that you don't like - take care!

Never been this excited since I first started using the Panasonic G1 when that debuted.

Fabulous and a :thumbs: to Sony!

I opened mine last night as well - I'm pretty excited too!- hooray.
Busy today, and anyway it's raining, so not much chance to play.
These were taken in the kitchen with the 50 'lux:

all the best

N.B
More snaps later.
I've figured out the interface I think - seems odd, but pretty cool nonetheless.

I've used:
Leica R 28-90
Leica WATE
Leica 50 f1.4
Leica 24 f1.4
these leica wides do well, with no obvious vignetting or colour cast

Sony 18-200
Sony 18-55 kit (silver)
Sony 16 mm

Everything has performed perfectly well with good detail and resolution, no magenta corners - actually, I've been very surprised at how well the Sony lenses seem to hold up against the illustrious competition.

here's one with the Leica try-elmar 16-18-21 at 16mm

I've now also tried the 24 summilux - there's not much vignetting, and no obvious colour cast there either.

Just think, Jono, how were once so impressed by 13.5mp in the old Kodak 14n (I was looking through some old shots from the 14nx yesterday). Now we have 24mp in a welll designed miniature body, the perfect travel camera. What's not to like?!

Exactly - even the strap's pretty nice! I've not done any big prints yet, but I can see it's gonna be fine (Oh Yes!).

And the camera/lens in question:


NEX-7 + Zeiss Sonnar E 1.8/24 ZA by Carlos Echenique, on Flickr

Looks good. Should be a near perfect lens for the 7,

Yes! I will admit to that for the first time. I am usually averse to the standard issue straps (barring a few no name ones from the pricey folks).

Yes, to the other one as well! In my initial excitement, I forgot to set the size to RAW+jpg and snapped the early ones with the largest jpg setting. Even those are pretty good!

Yet another tidbit that most may not need.

The NEX-7 sensitivity only goes near blue and absolutely shows no UV sensitivity at all (even more severe UV cut than the NEX-5) and nearly no sensitivity beyond 690nm.

Overall, a very strong UV/IR cut filter inside the cam.

A couple of snaps from the NEX-7. Both jpg from the cam and resized.

Was doing some pet portraits today. Since I didn't have a radio trigger that fit the NEX-7 (have to look into a hotshoe adapter) I used the pop up flash to trigger the strobes. Still have to Mickey with the settings to get it perfect, put I got some passable shots.

She has heterochromia.

I wonder if the ZM 18mm or the ZM 15mm lens will have a color shift with the NEX7

 

[etrigan63]

Rob Skeoch at ThePictureDesk tested out a bunch of ZM glass on a pre-production NEX-7 (he's a camera dealer). The 18mm looked OK to me. See for yourself:

Well, it seems that I am the idiot around the block. Alll of you have your NEX 7 now, and mine, even though I ordered it on the day it was open for pre-orders, is scheduled for the last days in January...:-((((
Sony were really clever with their marketing in France: the only cams they shipped so far were through their own Sony store in Paris. I can understand that. But selling multiple copies to individuals, who then put them up for auction at twice RRSP? That when they haves scores of loyal customers waiting in line? For shame!

Sounds like somebody in the supply chain over there is getting a kickback, Phillipe. Sorry to hear that you caught some of that fallout.
