Hi, anyone bot NEX5N electrical view finder recently?

Something like this...
LCD Hood

The NEX twin lens plus 2 marumi filter, plus sony 16gb, plus extra battery rm3010 and e to a mount adaptor rm 550, just bough 1 month ago.
Sal50f18 bought 2 years ago for my alpha, rm 500 I thinks. Prime lens usually sharp but I have to do manual focus because the lens SAM focus very slow. Good combination for product shooting under low light....

But la-ea 2 is superb in focusing, very very fast with 100 % success rate. for la-ea1 , it will be like zeee......zaaaaaa......zeee.....zaaa....extreme hard to focus with 90% fail on 50mm. slightly better with Sal 18-55 , usually I usemanual focus.

Just in case you guys have lots of money to spend, here is a mini tripod L plate that fits exactly the NEX 5N!

I have a used unit for sale if you are interest (check my signature)

Visit Official Product Page

so nice~~~ i wan~~

May I ask what advantage does this give??

Cause NEX already has a tripod mount at the bottom and even cheap tripods can allow the camera to switch between a horizontal and vertical orientation by just a push of a lever.

Did you notice you enjoy shooting in Landscape mode more than in Portrait mode when using your tripod? Do you notice when you shoot in portrait mode you ended up need to do a lot of adjustment to your ballhead and sometimes even the leg? And then your knob position is changed and you find it hard to align your shot properly? L plate is something after you use it, you always want one (so it is poison, be warned!).

Hi all,

Just stepped into NEX world with a NEX-C3. Wow, I love the panorama function.

A question - is anyone here using Canon EF/EFS lens with their NEX? using the EOS-E mount adapter? I have a Canon EF 50mm 1.8 and was thinking to try it with my NEX... but just wonder if the image quality can be close to the Sony SEL50F18?

Anyone tried? Thanks!

I never been on this lens previously so can't comment... but SEL50F18 so far is the best lens reviewed by many in e-mount series right after the Zeiss lens...

1 thing for sure is you will lost autofocus in using non e-mount lens... maybe u should snap a few n share with us?

Think manual focus is not a problem at all with the wonderful peaking feature. I'll find the adapter and try it out thanks

U will hate the focusing/without focus feature if using adaptor. I am using Sony alpha lens with original adaptor, but auto focusing is hell if u wana shot something move very fast

well the 2nd generation of the adaptor has already fixed the auto focusing problem

Guys, pls help. my nex-3 sensor and lens are full of dust, due to i always change lens in the wild... i use blower but not helping, so should i send my camera to Sony centre or normal camera shop for cleaning? how much roughly?

That true, just the price.....

if its under warranty it should be free..

Dust will always get into sensor, you just need to just the blower to blow it occasionally.

The reason why dust is so visible in this shot it with f13 which has a massive depth of field equivalent to 20 in full frame.

For NEX system, you get the peak sharpness at f5.6 and try not to go over f5.6 unless you are trying to do starburst. So if you shoot the above pic with f5.6, not only the dust is not visible, but your picture will be a lot sharper.

.. use cotton bud .. i always use cotton bud if my blower cant remove the dust .. u need extra careful ..

No where EF 50 1.8 come close to SEL 50 F18.
and I'm not sure using adapter can close the aperture of EF lens.
As EF lenses designed not like the way you see Nikon F mount lenses.

your statement means SEL is better than EF in 50F18?
