I'd guess it probably does justify the price. It makes sense the very best performance lens will cost much more to produce than its close second. Not everyone needs that much performance, and will...

It's only fair that the camera with the best selection of legacy lenses would have the worst selection of native lenses. Really, with the 50mm f/1.8 and the CZ 24 f/1.8 that recently came out,...

Another vote for integrated swivel evf! (It will sadly never happen) With FF, There'd be a market of two for my fantasy camera, if only you'd go for monochrome sensor as well! :)

I could go for the swappable IR/non-IR filter! My NEX-5 is full-spectrum converted. I tried to picture how a monochrome camera could have internal IR blocking/IR only/Neutral and Yellow filters,...

Those legacy lenses are very special on the NEX. It's called Peaking. It's the reason I have a NEX. Heck, I have three. While I'm at it, I'm not above enjoying the outstanding CZ 24 f/1.8, the...

In case anyone else would like indulge in this game--What's your fantasy NEX? I'm restricting myself to describing a camera that is only unlikely for marketing reasons, and for which I would pay...

Thanks for the great articles, and photographs. I love your conversions (where applicable)/ postprocessing. You mentioned on your site your intention to discuss your conversion...

The first couple of photos might be cropped a little to tight. The second shot is beautiful, of course. It would benefit from a lower point of view, I think (not looking down). The dumpster...

Yes, of course the NEX-7 has microlenses. Microlenses are needed on nearly all sensors since the photosites are not touching edge to edge. IOW, there are "holes" between the sensor sites where...

Now all we need are instructions on how to guarantee that our cameras will land on the EVF!

Those are very lovely B&W conversions.

I think the first, third, and sixth images are pretty nice. The third image especially so.

What you are asking for isn't "good bokeh", what you are asking for is very blurred out background. Good bokeh refers to the quality of the blur, not the amount of the blur. DOF charts will only...

It certainly does work! But the caveat is that imperfections on the surface of the glass will be much more in focus than what it reflects. Brilliant suggestion, where practical, BTW. But if you...

The dials on my NEX-7 have very definite click feel when moving them. So I suppose if I accidentally moved it, I would move it right back, having felt myself doing so. Is the issue that you tend...

Just checked that article. He is making two points, One of which may still be valid to a degree: that converting to DNG can leave you unable to open software in some applications that still don't...

Other than "future proofing", do you get any kind of benefit at all from converting to DNG right now? Do files open any faster? Are you using software that doesn't recognize ARW?

Great moment! Did you shoot this raw or jpeg? I looks like a little more might be coaxed out of this image? CA correction at the least.

There is two big advantages of focusing wide open, and one potential disadvantage: Advantages: 1. more light in the viewfinder to see by 2. focus peaking shows you the critical plane of...

So many people have clamored for the Tri-Navi with the 5N sensor. (I'd buy one too.) And I'd even prefer a NEX-7 without the popup flash that I never use. And I even prefer the swivel EVF (at...
