hi guys, wanna ask you guys about this issue..
have anyone of you used a third party A-mount to E-mount adapter with aperture select?

i got mine ytd, used it with my 85mm (manual lens) on NEX. With the help of peaking mode, I could focus correctly, but not focus sharply... hmmm..
any help? i am new in NEX scene..hahaha

thanks!

duno the performance can beat my FF or not? hope so...
but now i prefer lighter cam for daily use, so let go my d700...

yeesssssss go go go mirrorless

i am using MD-E-mount for a long time, no problem at all, but i don know about A-E

darkangel use the magnifier to confirm sharpness if subject isn't moving.

Got any trusted buyer to recommend ?? i also plan to buy a adaptor for my nex-5n

I think Fuji is very smart to choose APS-C instead of Full Frame so their body and lenses can be smaller. The sensor technology keep evolving. Now sensor found in Nikon D7000 and Pentax K5 is almost the same as the one found in full frame 5D classic few years back. I think the quality is really good enough for most people.

Sensor size isn't only about how good the image quality it can produce ie ISO. The main physical difference also means that the out of focus areas are also significantly different. In simpler terms, the larger the sensor, the easier it is to have a more out of focus background aka 'bokeh'. This is physics, something which can't be emulated from a smaller sized sensor. Same as a polarizer, the effects can't be 'photoshopped' in to an image apart from using major image manipulation techniques.

Then again, 'most people' wouldn't care less about the technical aspects of photography. So as long the image is properly exposed, it's going up on to Facebook.

SR5 !!!

there might be a game changer nex camera coming in... i doubt nex6 can be the game changer, so a replacement for nex7? omg... dont shock me sony >.<

I monitor them as a hawk, NEX 5 and NEX 6 too little buttons/dials for my taste. NEX 7 lots of buttons and dials but 24mp seems overkill to me and there is no touch screen. Look like there is really no perfect camera. haha

the admin of the SAR said that


if there's really 1 more NEX body and its not the NEX-6

so we will have NEX-3, NEX-5, NEX-6, NEX-7, NEX-8(??)

yup, i tried out olympus today... color very nice...
but seldom see fuji camera, wana try it out soon...
i love fuji white balance performance on potrait... damm nice

Hehehehhehe so many nex

I have several mounts and no issues with them - if you are referring to manual focusing. The way I see it, you have to do some test to confirm your issue.

1. You lens is 85mm and that is about 135mm in 35mm format. You need a reasonably fast shutter speed. At leat 1/150. Examine your blur image Meta file. Unless you have rock solid hands and good experience in holding a camera steady, chances are you are suffering from camera shake. Remember there is no image stabilization in this setup. BTW, the old school standard is 1 sec hand held on 50mm lens.

2. Peaking mode. Yes it is suppose to be sharp, but depth of field will take a beating for longer lens and wide aperture. Assuming you have no issues with (1) then try setting the mode from high to medium or low. This will narrow down the area you want and not flood the image with a mess of peek lines. You get to see the target area better. In macro photography, we normally set it to medium or low due to the very low depth of field.. it can go less than a mm! under high magnification. Also if your camera is 5n (sorry i have no experience with other models), you can hit the focus magnification. That will give you another x4 on the screen. That will give you a good idea if thing are in our out.

Lastly. It is not a contributing factor if your lens to sensor distance is wrong. A sharp lens will give good pictures if it is in focus - otherwise macro lens will not work!!. The only issue you will have is you cannot get things in focus when the focusing is set to infinity. I have a Schneider Radionar 80mm lens on my NEX. There is no off the shelf adapter for it and I have to make my own brew using focusing tubes combination. With that setup, I can get it to focus down to infinity.

Hope I have answered some of your worries.

i tell myself i'm gonna get the NEX 7 replacement if it is out...
wan me so fast pocket bocor meh

Nex 6 will be Yours

all the while no NEX7 replacement news floating around until today...
guess what? it might just a marketing mimic and end up everyone drop their spectacles...
to be honest, i wont switch to either 5R or 6 if i have 5n or f3 now...

and... sony really want make body > lens in NEX series big NO NO for me

Added on September 8, 2012, 10:26 pmrumours claimed that nex6 will be 16.1mp, function wise is similar to 5R just announce recently...
just an additional viewfinder with lower pixel than 7... if the rumours are true la...

according to SR, they claimed it will be a "game changer"... if nex6 is the game changer as they claimed then i really
i assumed some big secret weapon behind... probably an early release of nex7 supersede...
sony scare of the oly m4/3 eh
