  • Replied in Nex-5N with or without pancake?
    The panacake tastes okay. In UK the 16+18-55 kit is just £60 more than the 18-55 kit. I have it and it's fine. Not a stellar lens and not as good overall as the 18-55 but usable and very good for...
  • Replied in New 5N faulty?
    It seems the internal battery is flat: switch on causes date request and then won't shoot. I found that the main battery can be less than full at the start. To use the camera when the internal...
  • Replied in The click-fix makes a big difference!
    Nice portrait. Glad you got yours fully fixed. I'll send mine in soon - fungars cwossed! -- http://www.pbase.com/shootist
  • Replied in From PC magazine review 5N high ISO worse than C3
    You can see this for yourself looking at the DPR RAW studio shots in the 5n review. Seems the 5n is better at jpeg but C3 at RAW. Mind, there's more to it than that: the 5n is a better overall...
  • Replied in "Learn" how to accept we want higher ISO
    Times have moved on from film... If film had offered such high ISOs people would have jumped at the extra freedom to shoot. People want noise-free images at all exposures because they usually look...
  • Replied in NEX-C3K
    It's up to C3 users to post articles about the C3. That said, I tried a C3 for a week and found the image quality to be about the same as the 5n in RAW and no clicks! Indeed, on some sites it seems...
  • Replied in Sony UK clicking repair
    Yes I am remotely interested! I too bought mine form Amazon and found le click. I was going to return it and wait for a declicked 5n to go on sale but my impatience thought better of it and decided...
  • Replied in Pentax SMC M 50mm f/1.7 + 250 Raynox
    Oopse! http://www.pbase.com/shootist/image/136514900/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/shootist/image/136514898/original.jpg -- http://www.pbase.com/shootist
  • Replied in NEX3 & Pentax SMC M 50mm f/1.7
    Don't be put off. I have this lens on an NEX 5 and 5n at it is excellent - even wide open. The 28mm f2.8 is excellent too. Pentax make and klade some stellar lenses. Great optically and...
  • Replied in can i use pentax lenses on the nex-5 ? if so how ?
    Yes you need an adapter. There's a few and they're cheap. You can use both AF and MF lenses with the same adapter - but no AF. There's many old Pentax lenses available cheap and some of them are...
  • Replied in Nex Price in UK
    Thanks. I'll give it a try tomorrow. I have just bought the 5n + 18-55mm from Amazon for £560. The extra lens for £15 sounds too good to miss... -- http://www.pbase.com/shootist
  • Replied in Nex Price in UK
    Sounds a good price but I can't find that price on Sony's online shop. Do you have a link? -- http://www.pbase.com/shootist
  • Replied in Stunning Vincent Laforet video
    What a truly beautiful place we live in and what amazingly lucky people we are to see it. WOW! -- http://www.pbase.com/shootist
  • Commented on Reviewed: Sony NEX-5N 16MP mirrorless camera news story

    NEX 5 is still a good camera and with discounts even better plus a few adapters and very cheap legacy lenses - even its video is good. There's not a lot in IQ between these cameras. The cheaper C3...

  • Replied in Bee & Butterflies with kit 18-55mm
    Lovely shots. -- http://www.pbase.com/shootist -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= http://www.pbase.com/shootist/image/108996296.jpg
  • Replied in Canon FD 50mm f/1.2 + NEX-5N
    Like the f1.2 shot. Bit of a sucker for such 'almost not here' shots. -- http://www.pbase.com/shootist -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= http://www.pbase.com/shootist/image/108996296.jpg

    From what I've seen of LM's photography it looks good. Family and famous people. Given her privileged position, this forms an important part of rock history.

    I never liked PM. Never met him but...
