NEX-7 has an AA filter.

Hi Vivek,

Were you able to get the camera back together? If so, would you please be so kind as to share with us the results? I know I'm not the only one who would like to know if this modification could potentially increase the resolution of the camera, or affect the corner problems with wide-angle lenses.

thanks,
Taylor

Vivek, just so that you should know, the newly relased firmware does affect corner performance, as Sony says, even with alt lenses. I confirmed this with a ZM 18, where my usual CornerFix profile is now too strong. So I suggest, if you do put the camera back into operation, don't update the firmware at the same time.

Folks, I appreciate all the interest but I have my limitations.

One of the clips that latches a cable broke and that has to be fixed before the camera can function. Since the surgery, I had been on vacation and back and have also many other commitments.

I do have another NEX-7 (now, updated with the new FW).

There are many things that could be experimented on:

1. NEX-7 with the enlarged light well (with all the others the same, including FW and AA).

2. NEX-7 with no AA and the original sensor housing.

3. NEX-7 with no AA and the modified sensor housing.

If and when I have time and everything is back to working order, I will certainly update this thread.

It has been a great learning experience for me and I promise to myself that whatever future mods, projects I have for my needs, I will never post it here.
