Both work the same way. But GF1 has a slight operational advantage, with the EVF, manual focusing is much easier in broad daylight.

Haha... how about with this toy will it be easlier to MF in bright daylight?

Interesting but bulky and finickly. After using Oly's EVF, there's no better solution for MF for me. Sony is supposed to have bought rights in the plant making the EVFs. Just hope that they'll make one for the NEX soon.

Hi ansel,

I have the 15mm heliar on M mount, but still waiting for the RJ adapter from ebay.
How do you feel the 15mm perform on NEX-5? Any corner smearing or color shift on corners?
Thx

Definitely some smearing at the corners at full aperture. Looks much better at f8.

Something abt sony is tat on its LCD, the color is so vibrant, but off camera, its lacking in contrast

Haha... was looking at the 'smearing' at corner and realised the ground was wood chipping and not found much in Singapore. Second glance at overall picture reminded me of my uni days in Melbourne and a quick look at the number pate of the car confirmed it is shot in Victoria :D

havnt been back Melbourne since 2000, must have changed quite a bit...
 

still getting the above reported colour shift errors when reviewing pics on the NEX5. Narrowed it down..

It only affects if you shoot RAW only. In JPEG mode and RAW+J, the colour information is captured in the jpeg and the camera displays enlargement correctly, no problem.

Choosing RAW only and auto white balance will cause the error.

if you then manually set the colour balance to say Daylight, going back to the earlier file and enlarging it will make it display in 'Daylight' colour balance...
