I like the rendition this lens gives me. Not unlike the CV lenses which is a good thing. Again the exposure was correct and focus was spot on. All these images were hand held and more snapshots than anything else. I was expecting a lot more missed focused shot than I had. Again a plus point for this lens.

07/28/12  Sony SEL 50 f1.81202
NEX-5N Focal Length: 50 mm Aperture: f/3.5 Exposure Time: 1/3200 sec ISO: 200 • Sony • Nex-5N • SEL 50 f1.8
07/27/12  Sonjy SEL 50 f1.8I really didn't know what expect after my few test shots around the house. I actually thought I had a Monday lens, where everything goes wrong.
I was really impressed by the images after an afternoon outing to the local arboretum. It nailed the focus with this one and the colours and micro contrast fit the bill too. 1293
NEX-5N Focal Length: 50 mm Aperture: f/3.5 Exposure Time: 1/4000 sec ISO: 200 • Sony • Nex-5N • SEL 50 f1.8
07/26/12  Sony SEL 50 f1.8I bought this lens on a whim after seeming some really nice images from it.
After trying to find the time to go out with it, I took the time last weekend and put all other obligations aside. After testing the lens around the house I was a bit dismayed by the quality I was getting. The mistake I did was not using the supplied hood. A tip for all users of this lens. Always use the hood with it. It really made a difference to the images. More to come from this lens in the next few days. 1212

07/25/12  Olympus OM 135 f3.5 on the Sony Nex-7Focusing manually on the Nex system with these legacy lenses and the peeking function offered by the system is really a joy. The system nailed this using the peeking fuction and it's really spot on. I have heard that a lot of people feel that the system isn't that accurate but I personally have had no problems with it. I set the system to medium and it seems work fine. 1799
NEX-7 Focal Length: unknown Aperture: f/1.0 Exposure Time: 1/500 sec ISO: 100 07/24/12  Olympus OM 135 f3.5 on the Sony Nex-7The brighter 135mm lenses (f2, f2.5 and f2.8) may deliver better performance but one big advantage of the f3.5 lenses is size and weight. They really are small and quite light. One disadvantage of these lenses is that you have to mount them using an adapter and these can make the lens seem rather large as it can add 2.5 to 3cms to the lens length. Doesn't sound much but it's a killer for some people. These systems are small and the whole point for some users to use the these systems on vacation etc is the size and weight. I fully agree with them but I enjoy using these legacy lenses so much the I'm willing to pay the price. 1477
NEX-7 Focal Length: unknown Aperture: f/1.0 Exposure Time: 1/320 sec ISO: 100 07/23/12  Olympus OM 135 f3.5 on the Sony Nex-7I've been looking at some 135mm lenses of late and have aquired 3 or 4 to see which one works best on the Nex system. I'm pretty sure that these old legacy lenses behave differently on the m4/3 system. Using a lens on the Nex system doesn't necessarily mean that you get the same rendition on the m4/3 system. One lens might work on one system but not so well on the other. The way I see it at the moment the longer lenses work better on the m4/3 system and the shorter focal lengths work better on the Nex system. I'm going to have to test these lenses on both systems to see if my instincts are true or not. By longer focal lengths I'm talking about lenses of 90mm and upwards. I've now aquired all the lenses I need to do the tests, all I need now is time :-)
This is a nice portrait taken on the Olympus OM 135 f3.5 and the rendition is quite nice. One of the best in its class. 1267
NEX-7 Focal Length: unknown Aperture: f/1.0 Exposure Time: 1/400 sec ISO: 100 07/22/12  Clouds IIThis was takes seconds after yesterdays image. See how quickly things change up there. All you have to do it sit down for a few minutes and watch. Just open your eyes and look to the sky. It really is amazing. 1567
E-M5 Focal Length: 45 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/500 sec ISO: 200 07/21/12  CloudsEver watch the clouds go by? I have and do it a lot. Amazing to see how they change so quickly. I always seem to see faces or shapes up there.
This was taken with the Olympus OM-D, a real snappy camera. The lens was the 45 f1.8. Very sharp and a real bargain. If you haven't got it, get it. Fantastic portrait lens and it does a lot of other things pretty well too. The OM-D is a classy camera, very well thought out and very snappy to focus.

E-M5 Focal Length: 45 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/400 sec ISO: 200 07/20/12  Sigma 30 f2.8 for Nex IXThis is the last of the Sigma 30 f2.8 posts for the moment. If you're intersested in some more images from this lens then there's a small gallery here. I had a great time testing the 19 f2.8 and the 30 f2.8 around Frankfurt. Great weather and a great little walk. I must do more of it when time permits. 1941
NEX-5N Focal Length: 30 mm Aperture: f/5.6 Exposure Time: 1/640 sec ISO: 100 07/19/12  Sigma 30 f2.8 for Nex VIIIThat is one long ship. Used for cruising up and down the Main and Rhein I think. I had to walk quite far down the Main to get the whole ship in the photo. Maybe the 19 f2.8 would have been better here. 1509
