if you shoot with jpeg models from NEX-5N onwards are much better due to the lens auto-correction inside the camera.

as long as the sensor is cropped (which NEX is), you'll have to consider the crop factor. only exception is using the metabones speed booster adapter. 52.5-105mm (normal to short telephoto) is not...

I've heard lots of good things about this lens, but unfortunately with the size & weight (750g) I don't think it's a good fit to adapt on NEX. The heaviest/largest I've tried adapting was the...

There's the Minolta MD 35-70 f/3.5 if you want to go manual focus. In the long run though I think getting LA-EA2 is worth it for practical purposes, and legacy lenses aren't any cheaper than old...

While Keit's point is valid, I do want to point that stabilization isn't exactly vital to shoot with. I bought old A-mount lenses new, and there are 3 reasons for me to get them: 1. faster focus 2....

sure, enlighten me!

I was reading online that it's best to shoot with portrait creative style & -3 contrast -3 sharpness to allow more room for post processing & color gradation (what does that...

thanks! it's a joy playing with 'em old lenses

I've been playing around with some old AF lenses on NEX via the LA-EA2 adapter, and found two zooms I thought that fit well with tiny NEX bodies. They are family to the legendary Minolta 70-210mm...

Hi folks I'm trying to familiarize myself with shooting videos, and was wondering how my camera settings may affect. So say I want a shallow DOF, I should set a large aperture before hitting the...

or just buy a second-handed/refurbished NEX-5 for less than $200 plus the case - same price as the Olympus TG-1. AND you have a nice back up body! I attach the cheap 16mm on mine for diving. It'll...

Placed 42^nd in the challenge.

Not necessarily my all-time favorite (tens of thousands of photos to review from), but one that I took recently that I liked

I've gorillapods, ultrapods, and $10 junk tripods in the past without a problem, but I would like to get a real tripod now as my need for it is increasing. There are so many tripods out on the...

I don't really know how to do curve adjustment...any good tutorials?

I noticed this piece of wire among my lens element recently - seemed like it peeled off from the multiple rings. It hasn't caused any degradation in image quality, although I do use an APS-C camera...

I bought a used one beginning of this yr and it has flashed at least 1,000 times and nothing wrong with it so far - maybe a bit weaker at times when I use it simultaneously for pics. Hope it stays...

oh WOW! those reflectors with handles are exactly what I need - just bought it! I haven't played with reflectors enough yet to tell people what to do, so these would certainly help. I think I'll be...

Thanks Lebowski! And good eye - I actually brightened the pictures in post-processing, so the overexposure was intentional (just my taste). I also did a bit of shadow lifting, and that does cause...

I took a couple portraits the other day but was short on time so had to do them during the morning, and the sun is very bright where I am. So I tried to overcome possible harsh shadows with a...
