It is neither lighter than the Sigma zoom nor less than $1,000. I checked ebay and there isn't anything available for less than $1,700.

Lens experience with Sony Nex-5 and Nex-7
- Thread starter Woody Campbell
- Start date
i ordered the 7 and will be experimenting with the wide M mount lenses I have, including
Wate, 15 and 12 C/V, 28 cron I expect a bit of color cast with some of them, but using a tech camera and MFDB, this is nothing new. Has anyone tried using an LCC in capture one to balance the colorcast? if this works, is is pretty simple to make some standard LCC's and apply them

It's not that big a universe - in the current CV, Zeiss and Leica lineup it's basically the 12mm CV. Magenta casts but correctable with LCCs

You can make your own if you have the lens mount part of the pen F extensions rings and a NEX to 50mm (female thread) adapter. Mine is made this way.
If you want an out of the box adapter that would work, check eBay. <$50/adapter shipped.

For those interested, I quickly tested the Nex 7 with the Summilux 1.4/21, and it seems that there is no clearly visible magenta color cast. Vignetting is quite strong, as expected with this lens, but if there is a color cast, it is very subtle and would not require any correction, as opposed to 2.8/21 ASPH, ZM 2.8/25 or 2/28 ASPH.

ypamine - could you take a photo of a white wall or cloudy sky? To my eye, the corners of that shot might have a little bit of shift going on.
I've done some shooting with the CV 35/1.2 and the Nex-7, and so far no corner shift visible. There may be an overall pinkish cast when shooting wide open, but that's easily correctable.

Yep, looks like there is a little shift with that 21 Summilux, although not bad.
Here is picture of a white wall taken with Nex 7 and Summilux 1.4/21 wide open (shot as raw, only converted to jpeg in LR4):

There is a hint of color cast in the corners, but it is very low for a 21 mm.

OK, thanks! That is indeed very slight.

Yeah, that is very good for a 21mm lens. I'd imagine about as good as it gets.
