Photozone: Most current NEX lenses are not good enough for the NEX-7!

Yes. The bokeh is very creamy with very nice 3D pop. Definitely worth the price. If this lens is rebranded as Leica, it will be worth more than $5K (since new Leica 35mm F1.4 FLE costs $7500).

Have been using F1.2 most of the time and the image is still very sharp with nice creamy bokeh. It gets really sharp at F1.4, which is what Leica 35lux best at.

As for the bokeh, it is very close to the Leica 50mm Summilux F1.4, which is known to produce one of the best bokeh (that's $5000 or the lens). Sharpness wise, the 50mm Summilux is still slightly sharper than the Voigtlander 35mm F1.2 Ver 2.

Anyway, don't think there's a better low light lens with this sharpness, at this price!

By the way, someone selling Biogon as well...

I think the LA-EA2 was the best purchase decision i ever made, it really opened up my lens options. I was very happy that there were lower-end Zeiss and 'G' lenses available, having been used to Canon's 'L' series during my DSLR days. CSC format cameras are really a Godsend, now we can tot our photo gears wherever we go w/o the back aches!

Hi, As a long time minolta users I also have quite a number of AF lenses. Could anyone share the experience of using LA-EA2 adapter with the prime or zoom AF lenses? I m not looking for the pro/con analysis, but the real user experience, such as
1. The weight/balance when hand-holding and tripod-mounting,
2. AF speed vs e mount lenses,
3. Any concern in carrying the camera using neck strap (for ex., NEX7 + LA EA2 + beercan lens)
4. Tips or advice.

Thx in advance.
 

hmm now... which is better. the Voigtlander M to NEX adaptor or the Kipon M to NEX Adaptor.

I have Kipon adapters in five different mounts, including M to NEX, and all fit and function perfectly. Hard stop infinity focus is accurate with my M to NEX, which I use on a Voigtlander 40mm f/1.4.

I also have Kipon adaptor not the best looking adaptor out there but so far no issue with it stable not loose when mounted not like other really cheap one when you mount the lens to it and to the camera it wiggles a bit.
 

ok :bsmilie:

i've arranged to meet a seller :bsmilie:
 

I am using the Novoflex one. Superb quality than my previous china made adapter.

Price is slightly higher than the Voigtlander adapter, but better quality. Made in Germany.

How abt Metabones adapters?
 

OMG you guys, your adaptor is almost the price of most of my MF lenses :-(
 

Novoflex is the most sturdily built with whole chunk of metal and click and fit like custom-made adapter. Can feel the weight and really built like a tank. Made in Germany.

Voigtlander adapter is quite nice too, with good fit. No creaking as well, but the adapter better fitting with Novoflex than voigtlander. Voigtlander is Made in Japan.

My old kipons has a little creaking. Not sure if it is same as other sets or other brands.
