Good comparison shots there.. Since its' hv been resized, can't really compare the sharpness between 18-55 and this 50-F1.8 lenses.. Wondering this 50-F1.8 focused zone not as sharp/focused as 18-55?

Reason being.. my minolta 50-F1.4 MF although I loved the bokegness but the ceter focusing point abit soft & not as sharp as the kit lens

Sorry, didn't read properly... Or perhaps I was looking at Nikkors in another tab that time, my mind somehow tercampur >"<

Where you get the black SEL1855? Looks so much better than silver Or did it come with NEX-7? Even then, not all NEX-7 gets a black kit lens.

Try increasing f-stop to 1.7 or 2.0, not that many lenses in this price range perform well wide open

I can make a comparison tonight with both lens. SEL50F18 seem much sharper and better contrast/color than 1855 although my 1855 copy quite good too

u guys all produce nice landscape photo at sekinchan!!
thumbs up for NEXers!!!

Thank You.

So I take it that you have the 7? sweet!

Yeah, got the 7 kit set but hardly have time to play with it. Tonight gonna be free so can test power with some lowlight shooting.

With the kit lens, I highly doubt you can truly test the 24mp's full potential. When I was at USS the other day, I saw a couple was using a NEX7 with SEL 18-200... I was like WHOAAAA~!!!!

USS!? BTW I heard the NEX 7's sensor is very hard on the lens, anyone care to elaborate on that? Or proof? Oh just got my CY and Nikon adapter, let's try out my Zeiss jena 135 and 28 and Yashica 50 1.4 (TEST ALL THE LENS!!!) tonight!

Hi guys,

What kind of tripod u guys using?

Any recommendation for portable tripod for travelling? Budget around 300-400 TQ

Hi all sifus,

What's are the differences between NEX-5n and C3?

From what i check, 5n seems to have better:
- 1080p video
- touchscreen
- 25k+ ISO range
- lighter, longer battery

PS: Any recommended shops in PG to purchase NEX? =p

My gorillapod is always in my travel camera bag. Comes in handy.

Saw that toughnut is from Singapore, so thought he'd know the acronym.

And yes the 24 MPs demands a lot from the lens you put in front of it. Same story goes with my A77

Just a quick test to show sharpness of SEL50F18 and SEL1855

NEX 7 JPEG mode, manual control, 50mm, f5.6, 1/3s, center focus

SEL50F18 on left, SEL1855 on right.




*SEL1855 a bit inaccurate as it's at 52mm

seem like imageshack compressed the files..

50 OSS is very sharp throughout. Wonder if it's the same story with my Yashica 50 1.4. Are we allowed to do lens comparison here? Just got my adapter so wanting to try out my zeiss jena 28,135, Nikon 28, and Yashica 50 1.4...

Of all the things you can take, you go and take something which is pitch black with no clear and much details

There's a reason why i choose the NEX battery charger as subject. It's pitch black but with lots of details. Try checking the charger hehe. There's a lot of wording and printing at the back but i only show 1:1 crop of 3 sections.

Yeah very susah to compare.. probably you try taking similar bokeh shot like what you did earlier..
