QUOTE(albnok @ May 29 2012, 02:25 PM) The 16mm F2.8 pancake has 2 different accessories which clip onto the 16mm's bayonet mount on the front of the lens: Okay, thank a lot... Wanna try out the nex first...VCL-ECF1 fisheye adapter - converts the 16mm to a diagonal fisheye, similiar to the Nikkor 16mm F2.8 AF-D VCL-ECU1 ultrawide adapter - converts the 16mm to a 18mm on full-frame Both of these are much smaller than an actual 16-35mm. You can also use Sweep Panorama in case you forget to bring the VCL-ECU1. Another alternative is to get a Samyang 8mm F3.5 diagonal fisheye, and put it on a NEX-7, and de-fish the picture to get a rectilinear shot. However you lose resolution when de-fishing. |

QUOTE(nlik @ Aug 19 2012, 11:04 AM) You're letting go a Full Frame for a APS-c??? I see, cause my d700 is heavy for daily use... btw, i thought the new adaptor got auto focus?Yes, i'm using an adapter. Can say that coming from a D700 you will feel shortchanged, cause manual focusing can be frustratingly slow and your subjects could lose patience. You also lose the VR VRII functions, no aperture control on some Nikkors and some EXIF data would not be available. Makes more sense to keep your D700 and get the Nex just as a backup or when the situation is more suitable for it. Thinking to use with nikkor 12-24 n 70-300vr... |

QUOTE(samsungfreak @ Aug 19 2012, 02:02 PM) Adaptor no auto focus. It will be very front heavy also. Controls of D700 score 10 points. Control on NEX (except Nex 7) score 2 points only. Please don't simply sell before you play well with the NEX!!! There is also no wide angle options on NEX. Huh, i thought LA-EA2 from sony can auto focus? Nikkor on it still manual focus? Btw, here no ppl using dslr lens or prime lens with nex? I thinking get the kit or body only with the adaptor Added on August 19, 2012, 10:33 pm QUOTE(samsungfreak @ Aug 19 2012, 02:02 PM) Adaptor no auto focus. It will be very front heavy also.

I heard nex 16mm f2.8 can add adaptor to 12mm, the performance nice?This post has been edited by loon1983: Aug 19 2012, 10:33 PM |

QUOTE(nlik @ Aug 20 2012, 12:42 AM) So far I guess it's only the Sony E-mount to canon EOS EF-mount, and Sony E-mount to Sony Amount adapters which are electronically connected. I haven't heard of an electronic one for Nikkor yet, so it's manual focus/manual aperture but i'm also hoping for an electronic one haha. Ok, understand already...There are many that use manual lenses on the NEX. Leica lenses even. Your 12-24 should work fine with the NEX+Adapter because it has an aperture lever behind the lens. VR is i guess not an issue at this focal length. So you must find an adapter that has an aperture ring as well. Tq Added on August 20, 2012, 8:50 am QUOTE(samsungfreak @ Aug 20 2012, 01:45 AM) The electronic adapter only support the change of aperture. All lenses still need to be focused manually. Have not seen any adapter that can AF. I guess probably won't have one due to the difficulties. Em, like that i should sell all the nikkor lens already...Thanksss.

QUOTE(lwliam @ Aug 20 2012, 04:33 PM) Loon1983, not sure how serious you are about photography, but since you own a D700 and 2 other mentioned FF lenses, I believe you're not in this just for fun, so I'd recommend that you keep your D700 and get a backup from a NEX if you need one. Both are 2 different worlds apart. Even if you die die also want to change, get a NEX7. Tats your best bet. You can mount a proper flash at the very least. thanks for ur remind, i used to be fulltime photographer last few years... work in some models trainning center n agency... under some beauty n slimming center... also take part in wedding shoot...At the end it's still up to you if you're to sell your entire system and jump mirrorless. but since last year, i no more taking job, doing my own business... now just shoot for fun, so thinking of let go my sysytem n get a smaller camera... Added on August 21, 2012, 12:34 amagain, do u think i should take nex 5n or f3? i heard new model launching end of this month, should i wait?

QUOTE(sniper on the roof @ Aug 21 2012, 12:59 AM) My dua sen.... I don't own either and experience with them is via collegues cameras. Usefulness may vary thank for ur info... NEX-5N got: - Shoots faster @ 10fps vs 5.5fps on the F3. - Magnesium body vs plastic on F3 - Downwards tilt LCD for overhead shot.... F3's down tilt more limited but it tilts 180degrees for camwh0ring - IR receiver for remote control and can plug remote cable while F3 don't have both and bulb mode's gonna be painful. NEX-F3 got: - Build in flash for fill flashing - Accessory port supports electronic viewfinder just like 5N but 5N cannot use both fill flash and EVF together... so bright sunny day= not too great. - Bigger body that's more balanced (weee bit) with the kit 18-55 - Better grip (personal opinion). The rumours can be found in sonyalpharumors.com but rumor summary are: - 5N replacement model out soon with Wifi, App support and faster hybrid autofocus. - there's a NEX-6 coming which is like the diet coke cheaper version of NEX-7.. with lower res but build in electronic viewfinder but with 5N replacement's feature set. - Full frame NEX that takes both Alpha A-mount and E-mount (dunno how) in crop mode just like FX / DX. i think wait for newer models better.. no rush no rush... |

QUOTE(samsungfreak @ Sep 8 2012, 01:54 AM) I think mirrorless can definitely take over the APS-C SLR. Fuji and Sony is doing very well.

QUOTE(samsungfreak @ Sep 8 2012, 05:59 PM) I think Fuji is very smart to choose APS-C instead of Full Frame so their body and lenses can be smaller. The sensor technology keep evolving. Now sensor found in Nikon D7000 and Pentax K5 is almost the same as the one found in full frame 5D classic few years back. I think the quality is really good enough for most people. yup, i tried out olympus today... color very nice...but seldom see fuji camera, wana try it out soon... i love fuji white balance performance on potrait... damm nice |
