In my understanding it mostly goes the other way around: the sensor is matched to the lens. Sensor microlenses are tweaked to match the light rays' angles of incidence.

Nex FF + 35mm lens will almost certainly be larger, and will probably cost more, compared to an RX1. It is also probable image quality will be worse, seeing as the RX1 matches the sensor and the...

It is probably safe to predict that the Biogons will be trailing the field in a potential comparison. At least when it comes to non-center performance. Symmetrical designs don't work particularly...

I believe this was shot from the back yard of the Suleymaniye Camii.  And yes, I will definitely revisit. :)

Thanks for indulging my request. These look nice. I particularly like the last one . :)

Yeah, I sometimes have a difficult time choosing between a B&W and a color version of the same shot. But my current modus is to keep stuff in color unless there is a specific problem which renders...

Good stuff. I wouldn't bother with the B&W versions. They are better in color.

Adapter manufacturers routinely produce adapters which are a little bit thinner than what would be the correct thickness. They do this in order to guarantee infinity focus with all kinds of lenses...

The sensible thing to do is to adapt a manual focus lens with a distance scale on it. You can ditch the 24/1.8 for a Zeiss ZM 25/2.8 (which is a superior lens and costs around the same). And I am...

I like the color shot better. :)

Got me intrested at "glow". Samples wide open, please! :)

The Zeiss has a distance scale (can't see it in the picture?). Aaand suddenly I am interested.

It certainly isn't. In fact, it is far from the better Nex lenses. Check DXOmark's tests. RX100 scores around half the resolution of top Nex glass. I seriously considered getting an RX100 but the...

You certainly very much describe a street photography method. :) If it works for you, there is no reason to stop practicing it. In fact, I am sure most have used a similar approach at some point....

I have handled dozens of adapters, I own dozens of adapters. I have seen only one adapter which came with perfect infinity. Every single one of the others focuses past infinity, no matter how much...

What captura says above about the 5R and its touchscreen can be extremely helpful on the street. With the Nex-6/7 with autoswitching screen/viewfinder enabled flipping the screen to shoot from...

As mentioned the electronic distance scale is related to lens-body communication and not AF method. There are lots of cameras with contrast detection focusing which do have distance scales on...

Thanks for the reply. I wonder if close focus problems have anything to do with focus motor non-linearities or whatnot. The fact that the G1 needed modifications in order to be able to focus Planar...

Thanks for the detailed overview. Can you elaborate a bit on a couple of points: 1) What do you mean by short focus distance? Does that mean the MFD or "a few meters", or...? 2) How is the manual...

It makes sense selling off every single lens you don't use or don't forsee using in the near future. This is the sound advice in your situation.
