Another option I was thinking about without getting into the $600+ range is the SAL 85/2.8. It would use the PDAF autofocus of my LA-EA2. But everything I read about the Rokinon makes me think that...

Thanks for the reply. I'm looking for bright high quality portrait lens. I have the SAL 50/1.8 which I like using with my LA-EA2, but have read great things about the Rokinon.  The SEL 35 doesn't...

I'm planning on buying the Rokinon 85/1.4 for my NEX 5n. I have the LA-EA2 but would I be better off getting a different adapter? The size doesn't bother me at all but I'm worried that the...

I'm using a technicality to get Archie in this thread. The pic was taken with the Nex 5n but using the LA-EA2 SLT adapter with a Sigma 18-250. Archie approved!

Whoops, looking at the date on the second photo, I didnt have the LA-EA2 yet, so it and the first one must have been taken with the kit lens.

I bought the Sigma 30 last week and am loving it so far. So sharp.But since you are talking Shih-tzu's here, I'd like you to meet Archie!Can't remember the lens on the first photo but second one...

I asked this in one other thread but I haven't gotten a reply.Is there any chance that when paired together the NEX 6's on-sensor AF and the LA-EA2's AF will work in a similar fashion to the A99's...

Is there any chance that when paired together the NEX 6's on-sensor phase detect AF and the LA-EA2's phase detect AF will work in a similar fashion to the A99's dual phase-detection focus system?

With a few comments about shooting at wider aperture, do most of you think that would improve these photos?I kind of like the fact that you can still make out the flowers in the background. Would...

Ya, I guess I could, but I was just in the yard so the bulk didn't really bother me.I do like the kit lens that came with my 5n, clearly superior to the one that came with my Nex 3. The 50F18,...

Thanks for the comments.I generally use a wider aperture when taking portraits but read an e-book about portrait photography last night and it suggested setting the aperture to 5.6 and forgetting...

These are handheld shots with me trying to chase my 20-month-old around the garden.I generally shoot in jpg but these are all shot RAW and given a once-over in Lightroom 3.6. I'm looking for some...

I have read numerous threads discussing the differences between the two, with owners of each model weighing in.The reason for the new thread is that my situation is slightly different. I own the...

Biggest environmental destroyers we can think about? Dream on. Times have changed.In most big cities golf courses provide more green space than parks and wildlife preserves.On average, 70 percent...
