haha~ lazy to focus la, plus not really skilled at manual focus ><

@Shukrie - Awhhhh....wish I can do that..speechless

@Darkshining - I also just started learning to do manual focus after getting the ancient minolta lens 2 nites ago haha..Immediately after the seller teach me the setting, the peaking control, & etc...I got so excited that NEX 5N can do so many things that I never even know

stimix, congrats on your "new" Rokkor, pics looks fantastic

I on the other hand wasn't so lucky... evilBay has been cruel to me, bidded for a few lenses this whole week but didn't even manage to get one. Sigh, some sellers charge postage fees more than RM100, no advantage lor when compete with those local US bidders

Now only I just realised that there's a huge price hike in sony lenses. damn.

wah~ i wish i can meet a Sifu like that leh~ >_<

Oh, that was pretty fast For ~RM200, I think it's quite an affordable and value for money lens which has 1:2.2 macro ability. At the moment, I'm targeting Komine (said to be the best of all versions) or maybe a Kiron, but definitely not Cosina

tokina version (start with NO.37) macro is only 1:4, not really a macro lens... but from what i read from internet, quite a number of users said Tokina is the best among vivitar series 1, if you don't mind macro focusing... How true is that i am not sure

Tokina version is the lightest and smallest among first 3 version of vivitar series 1(all review said only choose first 3 version), but Tokina version is already bulky and heavy, so i really cant imagine the other version's weight and size

Hehe, there are a lot of Series 1 out there (8 iianm). Kiron does 1:2.2 macro, Tokina 1:4, and Komine 1:2.5... Komine is said to be the sharpest of the bunch though, but then again some prefer the Tokina. Since you've you used the Tokina with NEX, mind sharing how's the overall feel (when you say bulky and heavy, I assume handling is bad?). Need tripod to get decent pics or will handheld be sufficient?

ya...the handling is bad for me

when this lens attach to nex, i hold the lens instead of camera, if i hold on camera i really scare the mount will break apart so i don't dare to use tripod either, the lens weight is too much

and when focusing,i turn focus ring with 1 hand , hold the lens(camera) with another hand, then hand shake seriously till i always get blur picture

maybe i have a chicken hand

thanks for the info. i bought mine today @ sony centre sunway pyramid. great price with lots of freebies and most importantly 3 yrs extended warranty & no extra charge for credit card

Morning marketing shot -Testing using Minolta rokkor 50mm- F1.4 . AP mode




Also a +4 macro using same lens:

BOKEHLICIOUS

Appreciate that you could share how to use DRI Method for Nex 5n
