Lens reviews update: DxOMark data for Sony NEX primes

There are ads? On the internet? I did not know, I think it may be this script I wrote in 2009, I dunno. ;)

please tell me anyone for any reason should like Zeiss.

news will have the usual delays ;-)

hi. i'm new to photography. could you explain your comment means in layman terms. I was thinking about getting the NEX system because it's light weight and the cost is low on the used market. thanks

> 24/1.8 - 37/2.8 equiv., vs 35/2 stopped down, ~ 1/2 price,

this is E24mm f/1.8,
it's same as, gives us everything we can expect from,
a 37mm f/2.8 lens on a 35mm full-frame camera,

35mm f/2 is a very popular lens for FF.
stopping it down to f/2.8 gives us a lens that works
almost the same as E24/1.8 at open.

since this is 1 stop smaller aperture (half area),
the cost should be 1 stop lower (about, not accurate),
35/2 lenses are sold for about 300 US.

yabokkie, yes we can; no camera shake blur as you could take the photo at 1/40 sec thanks to f/1,8.

Also, by your logic the Sigma 30 1,4 for EF-s mount should be $ 70. As it's a 48 2,2, it's clearly worse than the Canon 50 1,8.

Why aren't the micro 4/3 lenses in the comparison list? Seems like it's the main competitor to the E system.

Andy, I appreciate your replying to my comment about not including more context of NEX or 4/3 reviews against DSLRs. And I have certainly used (and appreciate) your side-by-side compare tool.

My point is that your reviews do provide context between mirrorless systems -- how a Panasonic stacks up to a Sony Nex. But I feel we should have that same level of context to the DSLR system in the article text. As it is, someone has to dig into the compare tools to do that groundwork.

If mirrorless is is ready for the big leagues, you need to say it. And if it's still not up to snuff you need to tell us.

If you have a problem with the reviews on DxOMark's site, you need to address it to them, not me.

Meanwhile, there's no doubt that the best lenses for mirrorless are truly excellent. If you're not happy with lenses like the Fujifilm XF 35mm F1.4 R, you probably won't be happy with anything much.

The RAW conversion on the xtrans sensor is well in hand. I have 5 RAW converters for it in two operating systems.

Fuji's Silkypix is the standard but even Capture One is good now.

This not a problem anymore.

Sony 50/1.8 is good, the rest (Zeiss) is good, but too expensive.
Look at Samsung instead.

obviously all these Sony lenses are of super low value.

a 85/1.4G loses half value instantaly mounted on APS-C, for less than half of the designed image area (frame or image circle) but at the center where the qualities are higher than average. so 40 to 25 looks quite natural and reasonable (but as we all understand this is not lens' fault).

effectively cocopro says that Sony lenses have only half of the value and he is correct.
