Sony Nex-5N - Nikon 50 f1.8 Manual Focus Lens

Sony Nex-5N - Nikon 50 f1.8 Manual Focus Lens

Again taken with the Sony Nex-5N and the Nikon 50 f1.8 manual focus lens attached. As you can see, the lens is extremely sharp (and it's got nothing to do with my sharpening methods). I thought since I'm out on my bike quite a bit lately I'd take a shot and post it. It's been my taxi for quite a few outings lately. The advantage of a bike for me of course are that I get a lot of exercise and I get from place to place quicker that slogging it on foot. On the negative side, I may just pass a perfect photo opportunity because I'm concentrating too much on cycling. I wish there was a middle of the road solution but I can't think of one. It's either speed along on the bike, or it's a slow slog on foot.
 

At present I have 2 Nikon lenses in my possession, the 50 f1.8 and the 100 f2.8 manual focus lenses. To be perfectly honest I'm quite impressed with the image quality, colour and micro contrast that I am achieving. It's nothing to do with the camera I'm using, the results are the same independent of which camera I use be it an Olympus, Nex or even a Fuji. I've seen a post over at soundimageplus regarding the 28 f1.8G, the 50 f1.8G and the 85 f1.8G lenses and have been considering them for my arsenal. Too expensive for my taste at present. I had to set priorities and they do not come in at the top of the list. 

 

I've just spent some money for the Fujifilm Fujinon 55-200 f3.5-4.8 zoom and that is enough for the present. I really wanted a zoom of this calibre for the Fuji X system as it was really lacking. The zoom looks very nice indeed and the images match those of the 18-55 f2.8-4 kit lens. Both those lenses make for a very nice system. I haven't gone for the primes on this system as my m4/3 systems have enough of those and covers everything I need. I'm really impressed with the image quality from the X-Trans sensor though and I will keep the X-E1 and the X100S for some time to come.
