Yes. 5N. For the Magnesium alloy body + grip , remote control/ Bulb mode, full HD video, touch screen. I think it's worth the extra price.

so if the lens is F4.5 widest, to showing heptagon bokeh i set my aperture > F8 ?

<F8 = round shape bokeh?

Information about F-stop

Me again? haha. Buy Macro lens + raynox = Power.

Aha...Meaning Macro + Raynox...got it..but that macro..manual old lens or latest Sony SLT AF?

Guys, if im not going to buy any additional lens, as in just using the Nex5N without upgrading the lens or watever, do you think its okay with it or i might as well get other non changeble lens compact?

Any settings to shoot this scene?

Added on February 28, 2012, 8:56 pmgiv us some example about the alternatives. If LX5/S95, without budget problem, sure get a Nex 5N.

If u didnt plan to buy any lens afterward, be sure u get nex 5n with 1855/ 18200, at least u can zoom a bit.

Ah hao: Yes for a F4.5 lens with circular aperture, the heptagons come out after F9.0. At F9.0 it is still supposed to be circular.

Hit between F16 to F22 aperture, iso 100, 200. It will just black out the objects in the foreground and gives u those deep colors. Back home, use Gimp to change the color balance with more red and yellow. The problem is more to .. being there at the right time , right place with the right weather.



I am starting to think that sunset and sunrise pictures are one of the easiest to get, even without the very capable NEX. Here are 2 photos taken with my Samsung Wave 5mpx camera phone.


Still, I am quite happy to receive an SMS from Sony that I can collect my NEX tomorrow.

Finally got fed-up of bidding for a Minolta MD Rokkor 50mm f1.4, bought a Konica Hexanon AR 50mm f1.7 via "Buy It Now" instead, so much faster and easier and cheaper One of the legendary prime lenses which is supposedly better than Minolta's offering...
http://www.buhla.de/Foto/Konica/Objektive/e50_17.html
Total lens + adapter + hard screen protector (foc) + USPS Priority shipping = RM260

Oooi... Your pet ar the owl? Why always there for you to pics one? My place want to find satu bird also hard Would've have been nicer if it wasn't eating that whatever...

The left pic is actually quite interesting, nowadays cameraphones all got powa eg. Nokia N808...

its not my pet, its my model

will try again for better angle tomorrow, but i hope it fly away more.... I guess its wings got some problem, thats why it always stand on the ground there for at least 3 days already...

kinda sad if it die of hunger

tomorrow i bring a small fish and fed it, see what will happen

anyone here can answer me about the Nex-5N click sound issue? thanks~!

Hah! Just realized you guys were also talking about the Konica Hexanon lens a few pages back, now I feel glad with my purchase. Sometimes worry make wrong decision coz not expert at all

Later become permanent model after feed with food But I find the owl looks cute from the side hehe...

What happen on your Nex?

sorry, no idea

i am nex 3 user

ya, someone bbought a konica hexanon, but i bought MD 50mm f1.7

permanent model? then i open class for wild owl shooting, with entrance fee

want to join ?

How much did you pay for the Minolta? The down side I've just noticed about buying old Konica mounts is that... There are not many choices of mf lens, so my Konica-NEX adapter is like bought specially just for this one Nah, I wanna pet the owl

haha! nice to here someone else is getting Konica Hexanon lens too!
here I think mainly is me to play on Konica Hexanon lenses, because it is not common mount.
Same like u, I opt for Konica Hexanon for its affordable price and quite a good reputable sharp prime lenses.
The most reputable one is 57mm F1.2, but the price is too high and very rare! (not to mentionthe M-Hexanon 50mm F1.2 for Leica M mount which is super over price!)

So i go for 50mm F1.4 (F16 early version) which someone said it is the cheaper successor for 57/1.2 with the same 7 elements in 6 groups design.
It is still rare compare to 50mm F1.7. Now the 50/1.4 is always with my camera beside the SEL18200.
Now I have collected for Konica Hexanon: 40/1.8, 50/1.4 (early), 57/1.4 (white ring), 50/1.7 (early F16), 50/1.7(late F22), 28/3.5 (early), 135/3.5(early), 135/3.5(late), 80-200mm F4.5 (late compact zoom).

All bid from Ebay, some are come in package. it is quite a gambling to bid from ebay, especially worry on getting defected items or worst missing parcel!
I think i have enough Konica Hexanon unless can get good deal on the UC version!
My next target will be the Voigtlander or Zeiss, but i think i need to sell off most of the lenses to fund it!
