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.

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

Is it under exposure?

The adapter won't affect the crop factor. But with extension tubes you lose your ability to focus to infinity and the IQ may lose out to using Raynox.

So raynox better than Extension tube  .. Thinking of getting one. I luv macro but the result kenot even get close to fansoptian.. 

The bokeh of this manual 50mm F1.8 is nice & yes - Wow..But wait till bokeh expert here comment haha..

Oh I c..After checking your exif..F1.0?? wow.. sumore AF AE mode.. NEX 3 got such a powerful F1 lens meh?

Added on February 28, 2012, 3:00 pmbut i wonder y in 3rd picture the bokeh is in hexagon shape

not a bokeh expert nor even a camera expert but think the heptagon bokeh (not hex coz i think i counted 7 sides i/o 6 on the clearest one) is caused by your aperture fins... If your lens aperture fins is 6 fins type, then you will have a hexagon shaped bokeh... if you have about 12 fins aperture, then most likely you will get close to a round shaped ones... so guessing your lens have a 7 aperture fins...

Hello! I'm keen to join in the SONY NEX group!    HOWEVER, the issue bothering me is that whether to get the NEX C3 or 5N. I got advised by the sales personnel to get the NEX C3, cause the image quality are equally the same! On the other hand, I saw some of you still prefer the latter one. Hmm, actually is there any difference that will affect the image quality? Is it Worth for the price paid for the upgrade from C3 to 5N? Any advice for me? Nearly Zero knowledge to photography O__O In a dilemma of C3 or 5N.     appreciate much for the adviceeee!!
