Re: Fun with the NEX cameras....

Here are some shots taken with the 18-55mm. Am thinking of getting a Sigma 30mm soon =)

Earlier this week we took a bicycle ride through the "Kalmthoutse Heide" on the border between Belgium and The Netherlands. Last year there was a big bush fire there and as you can see the land is still recovering from that:

Re: Fun with the NEX cameras....

mazor - is that the Industar-69? I've been eyeying those. . .
thanks Taylor for that feedback :)

No it is not an Industar-69, but a vintage Canon 28mm f2.8 Rangefinder L39 lens. Think it was made in the 60's. It is a low contrast lens, with moderate to bad corner sharpness unless stopped down to f8.

That said, I have it on loan with option to purchase. Based on what you are sayin, you think the quality of this lens is similar to Industar??

At low tide you can walk from Belgium (Knokke) to the Netherlands (Cadzand) along the beach, and if you time it right you can also do the same return trip. If you wait too long you have to make a long inland diversion. We took this trip almost 2 weeks ago on a splendid day, and here's some of the shots I brought home:

All A850 + Min 20/2.8, exif in the files

C&C welcome, let me know what you think about these.

Pegelli, I especially like nr 2 because of the high horizon for the cloud reflection in the wed sand.

BTW Do you have to correct that lens for a straight horizon?

Thanks Michiel, and to answer your question yes, the lens needs to be corrected for barrel distortion. I do that by a "lens profile" in Lightroom 3. I found a good profile for the RS version of this lens while my lens is the older original version, but since these lenses are optically identical (incl. the even newer Sony 20/2.8) it works well.

Most of my time recently has been consumed with my new son:







I'm afraid I'm a bit too attached to the subject to be properly objective about the quality of the photography involved though.

Ah, interesting. I don't know too well the quality of the Industar-69. I think I've seen a few pictures from it on Flickr. Mostly I was just guessing as it is another super-tiny 28mm rangefinder (though, half-frame) lens. :)

Two more of people training for the next Olympics in Rio, where kitesurfing will replace Windsurfing.

Both NEX 5 + Olympus OM 135/3.5
