Thanks guys for the feedback.
Yes, composition is the key.
i still have the SEL16F28 not in use, but i looking at around 12mm.
have surf on the net a while on the UWA lenses and the Voigtlander 12mm and 15mm have lots of good reviews! and i like their mini size which match with the NEX!!

Although the price considered not too high with such good optic, but it still many times more expensive than the SEL16F28+ECU1.
So i still in dilemma whether it is worth to fork out the extra money.
but now you guys' feedback show make me towards the SEL16F28+ECU1 which i just need to top up about RM350.

I'm looking for a one-lens solution. But SEL24F18Z & SEL35F18 is over my budget. Sigma 30mm f2.8 & 19mm f2.8 sales are over...

So, I'm getting the Sigma 28mm f/2.8 macro legacy lens in ebay, around RM200~300

Yes. This basic flash needs to be pulled up manually if you need to take pics with flash.
Also the angle is limited so cannot bounce the flash.

I'm aware of the various mounts. Just curious which mount did you choose. I myself am looking for another f1.4 or f1.2 ( I wish ). Eyeing on Super Takumar SMC 50mm m42, that or another Rokkor 50mm or 58mm.

I still think 5R is better and i personally think that bouncing the flash is not a priority for me.
If in the future you have extra cash you can always upgrade to a flash which can bounce, the fotokem guy told me its about rm400.
I like the wifi feature on 5R where you can use your phone as a remote screen & trigger. Not sure if 3N has that.

See post #2493 if you want to get one. I think it is much convenient to have one especially if you have 2 batteries.
