  • My friend, learn a bit about mirrorless cameras. I've focused NEXs using the screen, in daylight, as fast or faster than my Leicas. You seem stuck in early 2010.

  • Auto ISO limit is whatever you set it to.
  • If you shot raw, your in camera saturation tweak would not be reflected in LR. I don't recall if LR has an NEX 6 color profile; if not, it probably defaulted to Adobe Standard. Different colors.
  • Why/how are these profiles superior to the ones already present in latest version of LR (4.3)?
  • Replied in RX1 in action
    Nothing wrong with iPhones. Do show us some of your iPhone 5 shots. Would love to see them if they are this good.The picture could have been taken with many cameras; we like it not because of the...
  • Dear Pro,To me, a professional photographer is someone who earns a living by taking pictures. Few of us here are pros, or else we wouldn't be able to afford lovely cameras like the RX1 or the Ms....
  • Replied in RX1 in action
    The first picture is superb. The sense of motion conveyed by the slower shutter adds dynamism and an abstract quality.
  • A manual focus scale that is longer and more distinctly marked with values relevant to hyperfocal focusing. The scale shoul also include a bar approximating the DOF. See the Rolleiflex 3.5e and...
  • Replied in E61:00 error
    I'm the author of the other post. What's your serial no and where did you get from? Btw, Sony is replacing mine. They were very apologetic, as they ougby to be given the cost. My hope is the...
  • I have experienced QC issues with my RX1 (currently being replaced by Sony) ado I totally sympathize. Lovely camera is they could make it work. These QC issues are unacceptable, especially at this...
  • 3500745, 12/11/12, Sony Store in Palo Alto, CA.  Dead on arrival; error code 61:00.
  • Created discussions RX-1 DOA Error 61:00
    Right out of the box, the RX-1 displayed error 61:00 and refused to focus. Tomorrow, this $3,000 camera is going back to the Sony Store in Palo Alto. Apparently, Sony isn't quite ready for prime...
  • The point of my post is to report on the behavior of a lens I own, handled, and shot, for the benefit of the forum community. What you believe or not is, of course, entirely your concern. For...
  • I think I'd know if I was under mfd. That's feasible. I'll post such a shot. Syllogisms are as rare these days as well focusing lenses. Another conclusion could be that Sony haven't a clue, as...
  • Sony rep called. The second level of support similarly in dark as to whether 10-18 supports PDAF. Escalated to third level. Sadly, I can't really post pictures demonstrating how slow CDAF impairs...
  • http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Cunningham_(photographer)Awesome fashion photographer for the NY Times. Check out the little videos he has on the Times website.
  • Love it. Would make Bill Cumningham proud. How fast is the AF on the 30/2.8?
  • The 10-18 doesn't do PDAF right now. I had high hopes for it. Fast auto focus was the only reason I upgraded to the 5R, in other respects the 5 was quite fine. The absence of wides fast enough and...
  • PDAF eliminates or greatly reduces hunt. Hunt = slow. Slow = people move. People move = missed shot. Missed shot = bad. By contrast (no pun intended), a manual lens properly set is instantaneous....
  • It's a landscape lens? Says who? I planned to take photos of people and portraits with it. I take landscapes with a '34 Summar, among others. The lens needs to faciliate taking the pictures I want....
