jimlim007: Of course you can hold the lens with your left hand to balance it. However, because I have tried the NEX-5N with E-mount 24mm F1.8, I would prefer it!
Yup the LA-EA2 has a translucent mirror, at the expense of 1/3rd stop of light.
I like my 24mm F2.0 for close portraits - you get a sense of location.

From the 24mm F2.0 on the A900.

No problems with people walking in front of you, because you are in front of everybody!

You'd know where I took this picture - at a fair.
yuhi: The LA-EA1 doesn't AF screw-driven lenses. The LA-EA2 does. The Zeiss 24mm F2.0 has very clean bokeh, much better than the Minolta/Sony 50mm F1.4.
fansoption: Wow, that is pretty close! +1 for wide-angle close-range lenses.
He does have a point. I don't think he is talking about you, but a lot of photographers!
Why do we take pictures of flowers and door padlocks? No purpose other than to look nice. You have the power to
affect somebody and change the world with your picture. Like say you go to the Petknode shop and take pictures of the cats. Or you see a somebody taking a bribe. Or you see a foreigner with an IC.
Your picture can be
proof. Your picture can
promote. Your picture can cause somebody to be very happy or very sad. But are we doing that with our pictures? We can, if we want to.
Haha.
