Meaning you also using NEX? I thought u're on Alpha SLT? from the alpha thread?

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 

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

finally 

Done. A day after somewan posted here days ago. AF abit faster but if using MF, no effect wan haha

I mean using minolta MF for sure no AF-lah but on 18-55 no problem-lah very fast

I will try later. My daughter playing wth the cam right now haha..OK..another comparison between NEX 18-55 kitlens & Minolta 50MMF1.4:

1) NEX kit Lens (F/6.3 )


Vs

2) Minolta F/1.4

Very nice!

Normal +10 filter is single element. The Raynox is achromatic (2 groups of 3 elements), providing better image quality.

Brand new Raynox is between RM250 to RM280.

I have one for sale, used, for RM200 if you are interested.

No, you got it wrong.

SP90 + Raynox = AWESOME
SP90 + Raynox + 10filter = Are you kidding me?

BTW, that SP90, u using what adapter to NEX? and for sure no AF right?

Due to the fact of no AF, I'm seriously looking for an old Minolta MD 50mm F3.5 lens since I having the Minolta-NEX adapter liao..Dunno good buy or not since not many review on the ancient macro lens..

Right now still waiting for my Sigma 70-210mm...BTW, your raynox? no deal?

Got yellow CA/fringing??

I'm using the LA-EA2 and a Sony mount SP90, so yes, there is AF of course.

Like others have said, when you get down to Macro level stick with MF. You'll want full control over your DoF.

Thought I sent you a message regarding the Raynox? Had a buyer reserve it. Sold already.

I'd rather not have the degradation that comes with stacking so much glass on the lens. It's minor, but it's there, and on macro level, minor is a lot. Pixel peeping fever I suppose?

Tamron Sp90 & the LA-EA2 for sure very nice but for the price of both already can buy another NEX5N liao haha..Probably still considering ancient minolta macro lens & Raynox..haha..probably when pro abit..upgrade further kua? Good idea or not?
