  • I recently invested in the 24mm Zeiss and I'm very happy with it. Honestly I'm not sure if the difference is big enough to warrant the price difference compared to the 30mm Sigma, but I do prefer...
  • It looks really nice, and the zoom is nice to have. The alternative (which is of course even more expensive) is the 12mm Touit I guess. It should perform better considering it's a prime, and it's...
  • The fourth shot is absolutely beautiful, makes me want that lens even more.
  • Yes, they do :( I based my comments on those, and they look very poor. Also, it bothers me that the adapter seems to have serious trouble with wide-angles and fast lenses, which is where one of...
  • Of course, IBIS will help. But NEX doesn't have it, so for me it's a moot point. Except the Samyang mirror lens, the lenses are considerably shorter which also helps. But sure, as always it matters...
  • I have six or seven Rokkor-lenses from 24mm to 200mm. The problem is that the sample images where they compared the Lens Turbo adapter to an adapter without glass were not promising. It seemed to...
  • There are definitely great shots out there taken with mirror-lenses. But the mirror-lens I have is fickle and difficult to use compared to a regular tele, and of course with the fixed aperture it's...
  • Honestly, it didn't look too promising. Image quality seems to suffer quite a bit when using this adapter, and not just in the corners if I read his crops right. A shame really, it's an attractive...
  • The crop-factor was one of the main reasons why I switched from m4/3 to NEX when the NEX-7 came out. I use most of the same legacy lenses with the NEX that I did with m4/3 and many of them make a...
  • Of course, since it's so small and light I suppose it could very well attract a lot of buyers. Mirror lenses are a rather funny phenomenon. Most people seem to agree that they are not that good,...
  • The limited aperture, and in general the inability to change aperture at all, is the main challenge in my view. I have a 300mm mirror lens myself and I think it's quite difficult to work with. The...
  • I have had trouble with my NEX-7 and focus several times, but not the problem you describe. Usually I have trouble with the camera focusing on the foreground or background instead of the subject,...
  • Yes, the 7 is a great travel camera. I bought it when it came out and just weeks after I Went to New York and realised that this was the perfect travel camera for me. Light enough to be carried in...
  • Commented on Is this the new Leica 'Mini M'? news story

    A digital back-like solution would make more sense for a camera as pricey and well-built as the Leica. M-mount lenses last forever, a well-built Leica-housing lasts forever, the weakness is the...

  • Commented on Is this the new Leica 'Mini M'? news story

    Another re-branded Panasonic? If this is the real camera it looks like a Panasonic with a Leica-like skin pulled over it.

  • There are so many mirrorless alternatives already that I don't think I would be prepared to pay the Leica-premium just to get a fullframe sensor, even if I had the money to buy Leica. Then again,...

  • It looks like a fun lens, but then again I like crazy projects and designs. I wouldn't buy it though. I have to admit I'm part of the "I'd rather buy full frame"-crowd here. I can see uses for this...

  • If it performs well, this could be huge. Pricing needs to be right though if they want to take a chunk out of Canikons lens sales...

  • So the only thing that gets updated on the NEX-7 is compensation support for the 16-50 power zoom? Or did I read it wrong?

  • So even the 35mm does poorly on the NEX-7? I don't know what Sony did with that camera to create this problem... The 35mm is not very wide, and still it doesn't work well. I just hope that the...
