  • Here's a couple of samples from the same site from the 18-55mm @ 18mm on the NEX-7 @ f/4 and NEX-5n @ f/3.5. Apart from the CA which can/will be corrected out anyway, the lens looks decent on the...
  • Perspective distortion will be the same for rectilinear lenses of the same angle of view. The NEX lens at 10mm ought to be a bit wider, so perhaps that might account for the difference you see. I...
  • I use the Pixel king radio triggers. They don't fully support the NEX-7 (perhaps they never will), for example HSS doesn't work consistently, but TTL is working. They don't have the lag that...
  • MAP camera have it for 29,800 yen, the same as the lowest price on the internet search engine Kakaku.com, so it's probably a reasonable price.
  • Probably. There's a Sony G standard zoom on the Sony roadmap issued a while back for this year. However, it was also on the roadmap for last year and was bumped. So you can't rely on Sony to stick...
  • It's a great shot, even as it is. I like the composition and the colors all fit together. I agree with all the other comments, and would add one more which is to remove the clothes(?) on the floor...
  • I'm not an expert in this, but you could try this: Turn of OSS Shoot a brick wall square on Turn the camera upside down and take the same shot You should get an idea of whether the lens is...
  • Pretty awesome shot. I think it may be even better with the castle in the frame. Here's mine from today. NEX-7 + LA-EA2 + Minolta 100mm macro
  • In the test chart you posted, the SEL35 looked pretty terrible. In the wall shot and in this one especially, it's a very close call between the two.  This seems to suggest that the Zeiss can stay...
  • Replied in Comparison
    I tried the profile on a NEX-7 image, and it seems to work fine. Here's the uncropped de-fished image. The lower left corner is the only one with any detail, I'd say its survived the stretching...
  • I'm using 2 bodies recently. A NEX-7 and a NEX-F3. The NEX-7 gets the 10-18mm. The NEX-F3 usually gets the Sigma 30, but may get the SEL50 if I'm taking portraits, or the Samyang 8mm if I am taking...
  • Very interesting images. Looking at the brick walls at f/1.8, the Zeiss certainly looks sharper in the center, but the SEL seems sharper in the corners to me. However, they're actually quite close,...
  • Replied in Comparison
    Thanks for posting these, it's interesting to see. The Sigma 10mm projection looks pretty similar, only even wider. The rectilinear projections will keep all straight lines straight, and distort...
  • Hi, It has a small effect on the distortion in RAW's in RAWTherapee, but the effect on the distortion should be huge. My guess is that the profile uses a special "FisheyeModel" which hasn't been...
  • Created discussions Samyang 8mm defish profile(s)
    Download it here . Tweaked it by hand. I made it with the NEX-F3, it may or may not work well on the NEX-7. I guess it may possibly work for the Fuji X cameras too. I am sure it can be improved,...
  • Hi, can congratz on your new F3. I've got one of them too, and I don't have many complaints. I am not sure a UV filter would be useful (I may be wrong). There's one in the camera in front of the...
  • LOL, not the ultimate photo, but the bokeh impressed me. It's blurred everything out of all recognition.
  • Zeiss C Sonnar 50mm f/1.5 I think it was shot around f/2, on a moving walkway at Frankfurt airport.
  • I think your Nikon 14-24mm will most likely distort like the Touit into the corners. 18mm equiv. rectilinear lenses have to have this kind of distortion to keep straight lines straight.  Here's a...
  • I have this lens and it's a good one. I also recommend you find one with OS. I checked my box and "OS" is written there, so you should be able to identify which is which. I'd advise you to wait for...
