Red dot = leica.

I'm still juggling between NEX 7 and E-M5. Money not a huge issue but...

1. sensor size (7)
2. lens size (m5)
3. lens selection (m5)
4. DR (7)
5. mpix (m5, prefer 16mpix max) but cropability (7)
6. IBIS (m5)
7. weather seal (m5)

either NEX 7 + sel1855 + sel50f18 or E-M5 + oly 12-50 weathersealed + oly 45 f1.8. hmmmmm

Seem like i have bad luck with NEX 7. Being FFK twice by 2 individuals (one body only, another time is kit set).

Today I called Sony Center and the manager answered my phone. I asked her, where's my NEX 7 kit? She asked her staff to check and said got another unit in the storeroom. Told her I put my name for reservation for a month already but no one called for collection. Apparently they overlooked my name. So I went to the store just now and damn, failed for third time. It's actually a display unit. But gosh, those black len with NEX 7 just pure awesomeness.

SGD1999 for kit set plus bag, 16gb MS high speed pro (50MB/s), screen protector and a booklet.

Agreed but my priority is size/weight. Those dslr not an option. X-pro 1 being considered but again, size issue.. Else I already grab those 5dmII for the same price of nex7 lol

Anyway, Sony center called me last night to pick up my virgin kit later straight from factory.

not really from the "factory" but close New batch of stocks arrive and one unit allocated to the store i put order.

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

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.

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..

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.

Same setup but different subject. I only show center crop as focus plane doesnt match after i swapped the lens. But generally, SEL50F18 super sharp.


Extra

If you can purchase online, try dealextreme. Buy bunch of it since its cheap.

Stoned

NEX 7 + SEL50F18

actually a lot due to over head, single handed shot.

from EXIF,
50mm, f1.8, 1/25s, ISO800.


*I also noticed that SEL50F18 hunt a lot when using at wide open, even in bright lit area. Probably too thin

thanks stimix. still learning and experimenting.
