Guys,
Any news of the 50 f1.8 OSS lens in KL?
Aiming for this lens right now....

Maybe can compare with Fuji X-Pro 1?
I'm using NEX 7 and Fuji X100....

Indeed bro.... lots of review on the web also mentioned the slow focusing...
My 18-200 is much faster in focusing

Define affordable?
To some, fake Crumpler is the max they can go while others might not bat an eyelid to splurge on Billingham or Artisan Artist bags....
Easier if you specify your budget and what other accessory/lenses you want to fit into the bag....

Having said that, for my set-up which consist of NEX7, 18-200, 50 OSS and Sigma 19mm, I used Crumpler 5MDH and still have some space for handphone, keys, spare batteries, cigarette box, etc...

Brand new or 2nd hand?
If 2nd-hand body only and with MY warranty, maybe 3.7k as the RRP is 4.5k.

Having used 3 Crumpler bags myself, I found that they are over-rated and over-price, but I keep buying them coz of their bold design and colour...

I'm using the Sigma 19mm for NEX 7...
Optically, it is a good lense but I wish the FOV is wider....

If you're not into pixel peeping, 16mm with WA adapter is a good option.
My colleague who also has a NEX 7 used this combo and so far he never complains
but he also has Oly OM-D and Nikon D90 to play with

Added on June 21, 2012, 4:05 pmIf the selling price is like Canon S100, might be interested....
But if RRP is like Fuji X10, maybe not

For portraits, you should try SEL 50 OSS... 75mm angle of view at wide open f1.8
For scenery, Sigma 19mm is a good option....
I'm using these 2 lenses for NEX 7 if I want to go light...
My other lens is 18-200

So far, only 3 lenses are E-mount
Sigma 19mm & 30mm and Tamron 18-200...

Put me in under Nex 7 bro.... I love this little bugger
I sold my Fuji X100 after I bought the Sigma 19mm and it has become my walk-about camera...
Small enough to carry inside my work bag everyday

Switch to prime lenses la
I just sold my 18200, and bought the Sigma 19mm and Samyang 8mm fish eye in addition to the 50 OSS that I had for 2 mths already
Waiting eagerly for the new E-mount line up also

The rafting sound is due to the linear auto focus mechanism in the lens.
Only happens when the camera is switched of or the lens is detached from the body.
I'm using the 19mm on my NEX7 and very pleased with the optical quality.

It is completely normal bro... it's design like that...
As long as the image quality is good, at that price, I'm not complaining

If you want to stick to native e-mount lens, the SEL 50 f1.8 OSS is a good choice for portrait shoot with sharp image and good bokeh.
I also have Sigma 19mm for landscape and Samyang 8mm fish eye for my NEX7.
These 3 lenses suits my need right now.
I already sold the 1855, 18200 and 16 that I used with my previous NEX5 after I got the NEX7

The 2 lenses are already E-mount lens, so no adaptor required,
BUT the Samyang is manual focus only...

Check your user manual on the sensor cleaning mode and get yourself a dust blower....
Point the camera downward after the cleaning mode, unscrew the lens, point the blower upward towards your sensor (but not touching it) and start squeezing

Keep the 18-55 and sell the 16 for 50mm.
For wide angle landscape, the zoom lens at 18mm can still be used.

If you have iPhone, you can buy the NEXremote app from iTunes for US$1.99
You pair it with infrared dongle that you can purchased from eBay for US$6 + shipping or you can DIY your own.

Though luck then....
So far the only option is the US$69 thing that you've seen in the web

The cheap US$5 remote fr eBay or the expensive Sony remote doesn't have the time lapse function

I'm not happy with NEX7 high ISO and the purple fringing on legacy wide angle lens (appears on my Samyang 8mm fish eye lens)
Now waiting for the Home Minister approval to jump ship to OM-D, as reviews show that OM-D high ISO is almost as good as 5N, plus the Pan 12-35 f2.8 is too tempting for a single lens walk-a-bout camera

Actually I moved from Nex 5 to Fuji X100 to Nex 7....
