This is one image I really like. Lots of detail in the buiding and the crane that's stuck to the side of it. I love the blue of the sky and the colours are spot on. It's just an image that I never grow tired of looking at.
The more I use the Nex-7 the more I tend to dislike it. I know that it's had great reviews from many a site and the controls are great, it's just that I like using my manual focus lenses on it and that's where the problem lies. Any rangefinder lens of 35mm and wider exhibit a colour shift towards magenta, on both sides of the frame. Yes, it's fixable in PP but it's something I'm not really keen on doing. It means a lot more work.
Having thought about selling it I first look through my lenses again and see the longing prime lenses I have from Voigtländer and Leica, and that's when I have second thoughts again. They really perform well on the Nex-7, especially the CV 75 f2.5, the Leica 90 f2.8 and my new addition the CV 90 f3.5 in Leica mount. As a matter of fact, they perform so well that the Nex-7 will probably stay just for my longer length manual lenses. Anything 50mm and over perform superbly as well as my non rangefinder wider focal length lenses, of which I have a few. So that's it, I think the Nex-7 stays once and for all.
