I havent tested the 50 1.1 against a 50 1.4 on a full frame body, but on my nex APSC it definately allowed a slightly faster shutter speed. I also think its a great lens (except for the purple...

I have the voigtlander 50 1.1, lovely build quality and my copy is more than acceptably sharp (although some users seem to think its not sharp enough.. perhaps compared to a Leica Noct) The added...

Placed 42^nd in the challenge. 'The Beach" Thailand

Agreed, for $800 you can almost get the voigtlander 35 1.2, which will cover FF. 500-600 and i will buy one.

I used a Sony nex-3 with the 16mm lens for the first, I think I used a 28mm elmarit asph Leica on the nex-3 for the second, but not sure.Certainly manual focus lenses seem to woDarnell, if using...

Thanks Duncan,I used the free star trails.exe program which I downloaded ( free download ), it's a bit clunky but very easy. I now typically use the layering features on adobe photoshop which adds...

Im really interested I one of these so look forward to your feedback. One question, will shots with landscape as part of the composition always be blurred, or is there some way of negating this?

Pretty new to astrophotography and have been typically using a stacking method of multiple 30 second exposures to generate star trail images. I've found taking an earlier sunset frame ads some...

here is some I took on my nex 3, great lens for the price, if only there was a 35mm version for apsc size sensors, as 50 mm (75 effective) is abit long for everyday shooting

Hi Andrew ( I think it's Andrew)I think your personal feelings about 'typical Leica users' or 'typical forum brand loyalty' may be clouding your judgement on this issue (the drop test)I don't care...

I agree that it's rather heavy and can be prone to some veiling flare but my copy is not soft in my opinion, what body are you using it on? Perhaps it is a focus issue? On a digital crop body I...

I have no problem holding my nex with 50 1.1 and critically focusing wide open, hand held without a vf. I do have problems seeing the LCD in bright conditions and think a vf is critical for this...

I didnt have an issue with this when diving. I did attach it to velcro strap (fins saver design) but most of my dives i hold the camera at least in my right hand and control boyance on my BCD with...

SAR have a rumour about a new Chinese 35 0.95 lens in the works for nex. Sounds interesting. http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/new-mitakon-35mm-f0-95-coming-soon-first-images-on-sar/#comments

So if this the xpro lens I'm assuming a fuji to Leica-m adapter and then an M to nex? Or is there a nex to fuji adapter? I've read aperture is manually set but is focus not by wire?

I like the size of that lens, how old is it? The centre seems nice and sharp but it does look like the corners/edge details are quite smeared, is this the case with all wider angle m lenses on this...

The Leica costs about 6x more, is it 6x better? I would think for the price difference the CV stacks up pretty well. I can understand that 900 dollars for a 50 on an APSC sensor is tricky to...

You should get one anyway Vivid, its one of my favourite lenses on the Nex, and you can always sell it again fairly easily if you decide its not worth the coin.

Ummmm... i certainly see some magenta fringing in the sky (particularly clouds at the edge) but not bad. Perhaps it is just my monitor (im at work).
