QUOTE(clearcase @ Jul 18 2012, 05:43 PM) so guys, this 19mm sigma 'wideness'.. is it comparable to sel16f28+UWC? The SEL16F28 with UWC will be much wider compare to 19mm... hence, lots of ppl say sigma19mm sharp and good IQ

QUOTE(poolcarpet @ Jul 20 2012, 09:23 AM) Hi all, Just stepped into NEX world with a NEX-C3. Wow, I love the panorama function. A question - is anyone here using Canon EF/EFS lens with their NEX? using the EOS-E mount adapter? I have a Canon EF 50mm 1.8 and was thinking to try it with my NEX... but just wonder if the image quality can be close to the Sony SEL50F18? Anyone tried? Thanks! I never been on this lens previously so can't comment... but SEL50F18 so far is the best lens reviewed by many in e-mount series right after the Zeiss lens... 1 thing for sure is you will lost autofocus in using non e-mount lens... maybe u should snap a few n share with us?

QUOTE(0168257061 @ Jul 20 2012, 04:54 PM) No where EF 50 1.8 come close to SEL 50 F18. and I'm not sure using adapter can close the aperture of EF lens. As EF lenses designed not like the way you see Nikon F mount lenses. your statement means SEL is better than EF in 50F18?

QUOTE(0168257061 @ Jul 20 2012, 08:56 PM) EF 50 1.4 has 2/3 stop light more than the sony one. but you i doubt u will use 1.4 as it's not as sharp at wide open. well since u put EF lens on NEX body, it wont auto focus either. i prefer to have auto focus. agree with you bro... i want the bokeh, but dont loss too much of sharpness on the main item as well... i still prefer DMF on nex... so far SEL50F18 is really a good choice... would like to see a new package bundle with the nex7 replacement in the future oh by the way, is all E-mount lens capable to satisfy the 24MP full picture quality of nex7?

QUOTE(poolcarpet @ Jul 23 2012, 07:34 AM) hi all, just want to ask - how often or when do you guys use the SEL16F28 lens? I've been using mainly the 1855 only, can took some sample shots between both to compare but can't see much benefits other than slightly wider angle and probably just a bit more compact. I don't think the SEL16 gives sharper photos compared to the 1855.... Added on July 23, 2012, 7:37 amRM249 list price according to Sony. If you're in US or have family/friends in US, Amazon sells it for about RM170+ after conversion: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-NPFW50-Recharge...words=sony+fw50and if you dare - get 3rd party from ebay, as low as RM23 incl shipping! e.g. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NP-FW50-NPFW50-Bat...#ht_2514wt_1110but use at your own risk. For me, I would get the ebay 3rd party, and only use it for short time backup purpose (e.g. while waiting to recharge the ori FW50) thanks for your reply... as for your question, just a simple answer... wider aperture and it is prime lens build for landscape shooting..

QUOTE(clivengu @ Jul 25 2012, 02:54 AM) Hi guys! First time checking in as new owner of NEX 7 + black 18200 LE! Pls put me in the owner list  My original plan is to get the nex7 with CZ 24mm.. but 24mm no stock everywhere.. and the shop manage to convince me to get the 18200LE for my trip. The lens look surprisingly good and proportionate on the nex7, especially with the black finish. I didnt get the kit lens set because my gf already has a kit lens on her C3. So I can use her pancake + kit. I need some opinion here. I am still thinking to get a prime lens. I love to shoot prime. Do you think I should just stick to the cz24mm idea.. or should I go for some other manual lens... such as the voigtlander 35mm F1.2 /F1.4 I think the cost is almost similar.. I dont mind manual focus as long as the photo taken has nice character to it. Is the CZ really the best choice? Actually I kinda hate the CZ to be in 24mm instead of 35mm. 24mm a bit wide for my liking. CZ24mm so far the feedback i heard really not bad if u dont mind to have manual focus, there are plenty of choices out there with suitable adapter... seems like u like to take potraint photo eh?

hi pal... good day to everyone of you... recently i got some questions with my new SEL50F18... when i was using AF/DMF mode (with peaking feature), the lens sometimes focus at the wrong item... initially, i thought it is something to do with the focal length. But I turn to MF. I actually can manual focus to the subject i want when i standing at the same position. And the DMF function seems like AF only, when u "fine" tune too much, it will auto focus again for you...
can some sifu guide me how to use it? cos it is like keep on focus at wrong subject... LOL
Besides, i do set the camera setting to "flexible focus spot"... is it adjustment needed at that setting option?

QUOTE(albnok @ Jul 30 2012, 11:34 AM) You're supposed to half-press, let it auto-focus, then turn the ring. Keep half-pressing it to keep it in DMF mode. If you let go of the shutter, and half-press again, it will auto-focus again. oh thanks albnok... by the way, i read something as below: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat...03&changemode=1i think i should set the flexible spot at middle... this will also affect the auto focus eh???

QUOTE(jimmyyap03 @ Jul 30 2012, 12:26 PM) You could set centre instead of the flexi spot. Flexi spot will be effective if u tell the camera where you want to focus, nex 5n could point the focus point by touching the screen, it will AF or DMF when you tune the ring. Flexi point will better if your objective not in middle. hi jimmy, thanks for your feedback... i will try that out tonight...really interesting camera to use.. by the way, this lens really incredibly sharp... do get one

QUOTE(pinan @ Jul 31 2012, 05:29 AM) Bro, mind if i ask where and how much u got the SEL50f18  ? Hi bro, i got a friend who work in Sony office located at mid valley... price wise, cheaper than usual lar but not much cheaper also... Added on July 31, 2012, 9:29 amQUOTE(jimmyyap03 @ Jul 31 2012, 06:35 AM) If I not mistake, the curve Sony centre have to stock, just arrived on last Saturday, can give a call to them for enquiry. Street price should be around RM900 hi jimmy, sony selling RM990 for this lens... no further discount will be given unless u got sony member card or some credit card special rebate stuff i do heard some cam shops offer me RM950 previously but really cant go further down with my technique of bargaining lar... maybe you can get cheaper? try your luck...

QUOTE(Ah hao @ Aug 8 2012, 12:02 PM) can anyone teach me how to use extension tube? i bought from ebay, use MD-nex adapter and a manual 50mm 1.7 lens. Using M mode, but problem is no matter how i turn the focusing ring, it stay focus infinity, all things blur, including things as far as from another side of living room... the focus ring is on the lens right? your adapter have aperture blade? if yes, set it wide open first... then on the focus peaking feature...
