  • I use C1 Pro with my 5N and love it.  Of course, I've never used LR, so I can't compare.  My assumption is that LR would have more built-in lens profiles, since C1 Pro only has the kit 18-55 and...
  • Is there a difference between Samyang and Rokinon?  I didn't think there was, but when looking at prices, I found this:...
  • This photo confused me at first.  When I looked at it, my mind was expecting a natural sunset as my eyes would see it, so the photo looked wrong.  Then I read you used the miniature effect, and now...
  • I ran into this very same problem yesterday for the first time. I was shooting long exposures indoors on a tripod, using a custom WB card, and everything was fine. Halfway through, I decided to...
  • I had problems with my 5N finding good stitch points.  To start, I used sweep panorama outdoors in bright sunlight, capturing distant vistas with the kit lens.  I had absolutely no problems.  Then...
  • That fourth picture, of the sunrise/set, is stunning!  Maybe crop it a bit as Duncan suggested, removing some of that foreground grass, make a large print of it, and sell it for some lens money ;)
  • To complete the story, in case others are wondering about Sony's service: I took my camera to a local shop and they verified that the dust was inaccessible and the camera needed servicing.   I...
  • When you bracket a shot in RAW, you process each of the pictures first before combining them into a HDR, right? Do you have any tips for how to process them so they combine together well?
  • Nope, I've used the camera's sensor cleaning feature more times than I can count in the last few days, and the speck is still there in the same spot as I initially noticed it. I think I'll take my...
  • This spot is most definitely behind the glass. When there is visible dust on the glass filter, you can tilt the camera back and forth in the light and see by perspective change that the spot is...
  • Created discussions Dust On Sensor, Behind Glass
    There is a large piece of dust directly on the sensor surface of my 5N, visible to the naked eye and obviously on the sensor itself, below the glass plate that is the normal location of dust. The...
  • Would a UV or haze filter have made more of a difference than a polarizer in this situation? On extended treks, you can't always control when and where you take your shots, so I'm just trying to...
  • Yes, which is why the sky is only darkened along the left side of the picture. But if the sun had been at 90 degrees, would a polarizer have helped with that haze, and made the distant trees and...
  • Created discussions Can A Filter Fix This?
    I took this picture using a polarizer to try cutting through the haze a bit, without much success. As you can see by the darkened sky along the left, the sun was mostly behind me, and the...

  • I just attached the kit flash to my 5N, changed the flash settings to rear curtain, and then put on the MSA-10 with a small flash unit. On a four-second exposure, the flash fired right at the...
  • Are you talking about the electronic first curtain shutter in the NEX? Or is there some way to use this adapter to have front and rear curtain sync flash on longer exposures?
  • Thanks for the explanations! I'd forgotten that the changing relative sizes when using different focal lengths was caused by moving the camera, even though that's precisely what I'd talked about...
  • When I first received mine, it didn't work on my 5n either. Turned out I wasn't plugging it in all the way. Make sure you push it fully down, far enough that the screw catches and you can screw...
  • I'm pretty new to interchangeable lenses, so I wanted to check to make sure I understand things correctly, and ask a few questions.Let's say I am using a 50mm lens, standing 5 meters from my...
