There are several of those, by RRS, Hejnar and Sunwayfoto etc . .

The R1 lens was very good, I used to have one even after I got my first Nex . The sensor is really bad, though, by today's standards, so you can't really compare the lens quality with that of a Nex...

You don't need an 'eye' to use a prime, and pros use zooms a lot less than amateurs. Zooms are good for people like the OP, who are new to photography, and don't know the difference bewtween 24mm...

Nah, just very ignorant .

Negative - it's pixel density; or enlargement factor , if the sensors only differ in size but havethe same resolution.In real life, it is more complex, but not by much . There is no such thing as...

Sorry, that's not true . The amount of light is not measured across the entire sensor surface, that's not how sensivity measurement works .Any object of a certain brightness will always create the...

There is a single reason why a lens with a wide max aperture is called fast - it allows for a higher - faster - shutter speed at the same ISO, to help avoid camera shake or freeze fast moving...

Every decent Raw converter can do better than any in-camera jpg engine , with noise or anything else . The catch is, post processing is depending on the skills of the user .

I don't see any noise in any of the images, apart from the one that was a little over processed in LR (?) ; the 2nd one of the chap holding the picture . It's a very good sensor, but still 'only'...

I'm a pro, but mostly do studio work with medium format backs. In general, when I use the Canon 5DII or similar FF cameras, I bring the Nex5N as a backup system, and wouldn't be too worried about...

They can't beat physics . Even worse, they can't beat demand . A pretty good, moderate wide - normal zoom , say a 4/20-35 , shouldn't be too hard to make, at a reasonable price and size . It would...

As said above, your image quality issues might not be related to the lenses you have tried . What lenses or camera systems did you compare them to, using the same general setup ?

Amen to that , you make very good points there . It's funny with the Nex - it's one of the first super compact APS-C camera systems, using one of the best sensors available, yet still it is married...

Yes, it's normal for this particular lens, and most MF legacy lenses . The majority of sample shots with legacy glass you get to see, here and elsewhere, are shot with shallow DoF and busy,...

I'm in HK right now, and might go looking for a few Sony and Sigma lenseas for my 5N . Can anybody recommend places which carry them ? Also, I hear conflicting reports on pricing; HK seems to be...

I don't think constantly repeating your verdict on the 55210 makes it more valid . ;) As for the OP, the images show some misfocussing and motion blur, I would also suggest to test in a more...

Damnit, there goes my job ...

I think there is a point of diminishing returns with image stabilisation ; it's great to just get the shot, when conditions are very challenging, or when ultimate IQ is not a major concern . IS is...

I got you, bro . Minolta MF lenses are the bollocks, though, place your bids now ! ;)

There's no free lunch - spend the money or go DIY . Decent enlarger lenses can be pretty good with DIY tilt/shift adapters, or with the more expensive commercial solutions . Noone has tried the...
