    Sony Buy the 5N or wait for the 7

    I had the same dilemma and decided to buy the 5N. The better high ISO noise performance of the 5N and the fact that the 7 has a problem with wide angle rangefinder lenses (magenta color shift) made me choose the 5N. + the 5N was available. I have not regretted my choice. Just my 2 cents.

    You shouldn't have said:wink:. Some of the most famous shots are out of focus, so never worry too much about that!

    Sony Adapter M39 (LTM, LSM, L39) > E-mount (Sony NEX)

    I've used the Hawk adapter for some time now and it's great. I can really recommend it. Especially for the middle FL's (35 and 50) the MFD is drastically reduced. As for the M39 > E mount I will use a screw mount to M adapter in an M > NEX adapter. Thanks all for your help!

    Sony Sony Nex 5 or C3?

    I have no experience with the C3 but I do have a 5 and a 5N. The 5N is much better than the 5. These are the advantages: - better sensor (the 5 has a colour shift problem with wide angle rangefinder lenses; the 5N is much better) - better ergonomics (more customization of buttons) - electronic...

    Sony Adapter M39 (LTM, LSM, L39) > E-mount (Sony NEX)

    I just ordered one:smile:. Pity they don't make one with M39 mount. I will have to use a M39>M adapter.

    Sony Adapter M39 (LTM, LSM, L39) > E-mount (Sony NEX)

    Thanks adanac. That is very useful information! The relative long MFD of rangerfinder lenses has always been a downside of these lenses to me. I didn't know there were adapters that solved this problem. Very interesting. I suppose it works as a kind of extension ring. I will investigate the Hawk...

    Sony Adapter M39 (LTM, LSM, L39) > E-mount (Sony NEX)

    Thanks Rich and deirdre. Yes, using the LSM > M adapter in a M > NEX adapter is another option, but if it's possible to avoid stacking adapters I would prefer that.

    Sony Adapter M39 (LTM, LSM, L39) > E-mount (Sony NEX)

    Can anyone recommend an adapter for Leica screw mount lenses to Sony NEX E-mount? I am looking for a good quality adapter that keeps the lens well centered (aperture and distance scale) on the camera and that has no problems with infinity focusing. I have a Voigtlander adapter for Leica M >...

    Sony NEX + LA-EA1 + 2X teleconverter?

    Yes, 900mm is tripod only. With the help of magnification and focus peaking it might be doable; but I don't know if you'll be pleased with the IQ. My experience with 2x converters is disappointing. I only use 1.4x.

    Sony NEX-7 delayed in Europe.

    My original plan was to get the NEX-7 but all the information about the noisy 24MP sensor (in the A77, perhaps a little better in the NEX-7, but still) and the fact that it's uncertain when the 7 will arrive in the shops made me decide otherwise. So I bought a 5N with EVF and LA-EA2 adapter so I...

    Sony Nex 5n image quality

    Why not? Maybe it needs getting used to. I have a NEX-5 which has no view finder at all and , except with very bright light on the LCD, I think it is quite useable. I have the 5N + EVF too and I prefer to use it without EVF most of the time, especially in street photography.

    Thanks christilou, Andrewteee and BBW! Yes, the dog walkers turned out quite well. I had the lens focused on that spot and waited for something interesting to walk in to that focus. And I was very lucky that they were so 'synchronized' and were looking in my direction.
