NEX-5R with 35mm f/1.7 CCTV lens Dark Hollow Falls, Shenandoah National Park

Yes, in the end it is exactly what you said. My camera is just shooting JPEGS in sRGB, but I used a NIK plugin which saves the files as TIFF with AdobeRGB. I just dragged the photo to the desktop,...

I have a photo from an NEX-5R, which I edited in Aperture, and dragged to the desktop, then later sent to a friend using Dropbox. I downloaded the same photo on my iPhone 4S and it appeared rather...

I was thinking about this the other day. Using a manual focus legacy lens on NEX is very nice because once you get focus you can snap away. Of course you can always use manual focus with NEX lenses...

I'm a photography learner right now, there is so much focus and talk about wide apertures that when they announced this I was wasn't particularly exicited. Then I finally got an old 50mm f/1.4 lens...

oof

Honestly, I think a 18-50 f/2.8 is a terrible recommendatio for a "beginner" regardless of camera system. Canon's APS-C equivalent for this lens is $1000+. Nikon's is $800+ I think. Whenever the...

This makes sense, and it would explain why the glare is the same shape as the sensor. Thanks! I'll give it a try with the kit lens and see if I get better results. I was aware that the depth of...

Hi all, Recently I ordered a few old Minolta lenses and an adapter on eBay. Really having fun with them. On a whim I also bought some cheapo extension tubes on Amazon. The cicadas are starting to...

Well, saying "shame on you" and acting like its obvious isn't exactly helpful. His problem was that overscan is on by default on virtually all HDTVs, and he (like most consumers) was not aware of...

If only it were so simple! The problem he has encountered is that TVs don't behave in the obvious, sensible way people expect them to, which is to take a 1920x1080 input signal and display it...

Oh. Now that you mention it, I think the problem is I am just wanting center focus to work differently than it was designed. Now it makes sense - if you have center focus set, and you start a...

I just wish there was such a thing as a manual lens with OSS. It makes such a difference if you're shooting handheld. I've already determined with my cheapo CCTV lens that I really like the feel of...

Generally speaking, it takes a lot of tinkering to get a TV setup to look right as a computer monitor. You should venture over to avsforum.com for help optimizing your TV for use as a computer...

Is there any way to use autofocus during video, but have the camera only refocus when the shutter is half-pressed? The focus drifting is driving me crazy, it seems like whenever I am taking video,...

I was going to say basically the same thing. When one first endeavours to learn about photography via books, websites, etc, they will inevitably find a lot of material and photographs created by...
