    On The Street Nex5n 18-55

    Honestly I'm not surprise by these pictures taken with the stock kit 18-55mm I know it fashionable for alot of folks to trash about the kit lens but I've takes some stunning pictures with it because the camera is so easy to control and I can focus more on composition, color, lighting etc... ...

    Sony 16mm F2.8 Lens for NEX series

    No I dont think so since its coming from Korea just watch out for shipping costs. One of the ways some sellers get back money is charging outrageous shipping fees , like charging $70.00usd for USPS priority mail for a package under 2 lbs small box is flat charge of 5.95 usd . E bay has done...

    Niikon 300mm f 2.8 lens on the NEX amazing IQ

    Well I agree calling the Sony 18-200mm a toy isnt fair. The Nikon 300mm x1.5=450mm effectively is a BIG, HEAVY, and VERY Expensive professional lens designed primarily for professional sports/wildlife photo shoots at a minimum needs a fairly heavy mono pod or tripod to be used most effectively...

    Another 5n with LA-EA2 and sony 35mm 1.8 (img)

    I could live with Sony Alpha LAEA1 for me auto exposure is a bigger deal which this adapter has than auto focus. Beside if I remember in the Nex5n camera setting this a option for auto focus with manual fine tunning. La-ea2 is heavy, bulk and almost always need to be on a tripod or mono pod at a...

    Another 5n with LA-EA2 and sony 35mm 1.8 (img)

    Honestly I think this going to be my approach to solving the need for a speed prime lens that auto focuses/exposes my Nex5n the la-ea2 is 139.00 usd and the sony 35 mm f/1.8 for 199.00 on amazon would be 1/3 the cost to the zeiss 24mm f/1.8 Wow. LoL And it should be nice for indoors and...

    Steve Huff 'prefers Fuji colors over NEX-7, NO CONTEST'

    Blech . When I first started read Steve huff's forum I though he was a really smart mad scientist of photography, now I feel he's monty pythons long lost brother of the boxer Ken Clean air system . The dude is all over the map week to week saying one week the Nex7 is better than sex and white...

    From PC magazine review 5N high ISO worse than C3

    Yep I second that opinion . For reviews of anything electronic pc's, digital cameras , printers, etc.... the web and users forums like these will give you the straight sh*t on what's great, so so or a steam pile of feces. PC mag got exposed in the 90's more ad space = good reviews after...

    SLR Magic 35mm f/1.7 MC lens anybody got any experance with it?

    Thanks for the reply D Cox is that the canon lens that works with a leica M mount adapter? I've read some nice things about the Canon rangefinder Leica clone lenes is still a 1.5 conversion because it was a 35mm flim lens so it would be a 75mm on the Nex5n?

    SLR Magic 35mm f/1.7 MC lens anybody got any experance with it?

    Thanks for the quick reply Alan . So if I found lets say a nice compact relativity fast Olympus OM f/2.8 28mm or 35mm lens that would give me the nice old 35mm slr 50mm prime lens effect (picture speed and quality w/less flash) I'm looking for and even with the lens adapter I should be able to...

    SLR Magic 35mm f/1.7 MC lens anybody got any experance with it?

    Ok if the slr magic are only for lack of a better term special effects/art lens what would be a good indoor lens? I mentioned early the not so fast sony 30mm , the Sonny 16mm (not a huge fan because any photo past 20 feet becomes distorted miniature mode due its extreme wide angle, and I think...

    SLR Magic 35mm f/1.7 MC lens anybody got any experance with it?

    This was a lens Steve huff was raving about on his website for use with the Sony Nex system along with the 28mm f/2.8 lens. Their dirt cheap and look like ccd camera lens with a e series adapter attached to them. Has anyone used them and have some sample pictures to post . I'd like to have a...

    Sony HVLF20S Flash anyone had any experance with it?

    yeah I would too but with my budget it wasn't in the cards. I still think soon rather than later sony or some aftermarket company will come out with screw in flash adapter and a audio out adapter or both in one adapter especially if the nex7 suffers a long delay with the Thailand floods delay it...

    Sony HVLF20S Flash anyone had any experance with it?

    Yeap it going on my Christmas list. I just wish it was self powered because I notice if I use the stock flash for about 25 pic I lose 25% of my battery life so for the higher power unit it going to be worse. Oh well it looks like I also need a extra battery

    Sony HVLF20S Flash anyone had any experance with it?

    I'd love to get a better flash for my Nex5n the stock flash is a red eye bomb and has limited but surprising range due to 5n excellent pictures it can take up to 3200 iso. But I'd like more power for outdoors and a flash that generates less red eye. So is it worth the extra bucks?
