I dont know how to see bokeh is nice or not

U mean its not bokeh enough ? Or the bokeh is ugly?

The bokeh is messy. And very distracting.

Just google about sel 50mm f1.8, it is sooooo over price !!! Around rm 1000 (Usd 299 )for a 50mm 1.8? Omg....

Canon 50mm 1.8 = rm300++
nikon 50mm 1.8= rm400++
Sony 50mm 1.8= rm 500++
then nex 50mm 1.8 = 1000????!!!!!

What are sony think about ?

I using NEX-5N 4 month already.

Hmnnn I just like the feeling of bokeness.. Well, I dunno what zstan mean by messy bokeh but I just luv it..unless somewan wth SEL50F1.8 can get better than the so called messy bokeh? In the 1st place, isn't bokeh suppose to be very messy on the background haha

Added on February 27, 2012, 6:54 pmWah. likedat your earlier macro works all using 5N? darn those really good macro... U need to share abit of your technique of maroing wth NEX 5n dy haha This post has been edited by stimix: Feb 27 2012, 06:54 PM

SEL50F18 have OSS.
I tested AF is quite fast and sharp.

+ Rm500++ for the OSS, it doesnt seems right to me... And OSS is not a must for 50mm to me, but sure its an advantage

If its 55-200mm , then OSS is a must

agreed. that's why i stick to my Konica Hexanon 50mm F1.4!

what is its mount ? i search online its neither MD or Alpha mount... where u get the adapter?

It is old Konica mount. Before Minolta time. Alpha is follow minolta.
I got the lenses and adapter from ebay too.

before minolta ?

how old is ur lens ?

NEX 50mm is stabilised and has a better built. It's no brainier why it's more expensive.

Haha. When u shoot more with expensive glass or see other people's pictures then u will understand what's creamy bokeh and messy bokeh.

sorry, before merged with Minolta became Konica-Minolta!
my lens is full metal body earlier type with F1.4-F16 which is around 1973.
refer http://www.buhla.de/Foto/Konica/Objektive/e50_14.html
it is recommended sharp lens.
more details can find from http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=254&t=1948301&p=1
if u can read chinese.
i still have other Konica Hexanon like legendary sharp lens 50/1.7 (early & later), 40/1.8, 57/1.4 (chrome ring),....

I'm not a pro but with my experience with other pros, the first one: It's kinda sad that the front part of the wings are not focus but instead of blurred out. I really like your shots, stunt me for quite awhile actually (at first I was WOAHhhhh... and then I was nooo...), the contrast and sharpness is just great in my opinion. I love "his" eyes.

Perhaps you can send your shots to flickr instead, because sometimes the image host will compress your images so best if you can upload your photos to flickr or photoshop.com

i deliberately out of focus its wings... if all was in focus then the bokeh will worse than now... outcome will be a more distracting background... nvm, i will try again tomorrow, hope the owl waiting for me there

For those going manual, this is a good long winded interesting article.. I spent almost 3 hrs digesting it while watching dramas haha

I hope I will not be like this :

Fuyoh, suddenly everybody so active... Was awfully quiet last weekend By the way, my IR remotes came in today. Anybody want one? I bought extras by accident (multi-tabbed browsing ), sell at cost of RM6. Discount RM1 if you work in Sony hehe... I can pass to you anytime in the office.

Most tele lens usually like that, big and long and maybe heavy especially old ones with metal-build, really need a tripod if zoomed out. I bidded (and still winning atm) for the 1st version by Kiron, gonna need to start exercising my hands and arms as it's the heaviest of all

NEX has a crop factor of 1.5x so a 50mm (FX/full-frame format) lens would equal to ~75mm on our cams, not sure whether the adapter will affect anything though. Can always try a extension tube if you want close-ups, cheap and can be used with majority of lenses unlike filters which are limited by its thread size, 49mm cannot install on 55mm and vice-versa unless add step-up/step-down ring.

the lens is huge and heavy till i don dare to put my camera on the tripod i holding the lens but not the camera

1st version is larger and heavier than my tokina version, so... good luck to u
