Thanks Q - I'd forgotten about the flowers!Hi Jono, great natural light shots (by the way we still have your picture of the flowers hanging on our wall at home...). I momentarily thought the first one was Emma....
When did you get the Zeiss? Its not perfect - a tad too much CA on specular highlights and back-lit objects for my liking - but it is the best lens I have so far used on the Nex-7.
Cheers

From the sublime to the ...less sublime, I look forward to receiving the Tamron 18-200mm. I have tried the 70-300mm G A-Mount lens successfully with the Sony smaller adapter on the Nex-7 and 5n and it works fine, with autofocus (as it is an SSM lens) but its too heavy and no VR. If the quality is up to standard I would have a great travel kit along with the Zeiss and the 16mm pancake.Thanks Q - I'd forgotten about the flowers!
As for the lens - it works well for me - I've not found CA to be enough of an issue to need any corrections, but it's easy enough if necessary. It's nice and sharp though - right to the corners - and I like the 'look' of it - it's also got pretty good bokeh for this wide a lens.
all the best

Hi VivekWhat was the aperture for the salt shaker shot, Quentin?
They are all wicked sharp and with nice tones!
Thanks, Quentin. One reason I asked for that was, in the OOF heptagonal highlight (even at this size), I can see vestiges of diffraction. I am still trying to understand this better. Your aperture data (effective would be ~f/4 to f/6.3 at this magnification) fits with it.Hi Vivek
F3/5 and ISO 400. Decent semi-macro capability.
Nice ones, Bob!Couple of captures from the recent trip....of course not sharp!
