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

[Thoth]

*An* issue, the color shift. It's sharper in the corners than any of Sony's own e-mount stuff, and produces far less distortion. And to top it off, it's comparatively inexpensive.

And I'd sure as hell rather deal with color shift than with the complex distortion that comes with some other WA lenses.

Reviews often offer a good frame of reference, but it's best to take them with a grain of salt. Even DXOmark's "by numbers and charts" approach often doesn't give an accurate picture of the capabilities of a lens.

It's easy enough to take even the best lenses and expose their weaknesses, and then go bitch and moan about it on the internet. The real challenge is to learn what your lenses' strengths are and then to exploit those strengths in order to produce great photographs.

Cant agree more bro... There is no perfect lens even for the Leica...

Better to bring a torch and a magnifying glass for careful examination of the elements. "Mint" is a word that gets used loosely in these parts . . . ;p

Any advise on 35mm distagon F2 (ZF mount) combi with NEX7?? The lens produces extremely sharp images but not sure how it'll perform on the NEX system. Hopefully someone with this setup can provide some comments?

Be careful of heavy lens as there's report that the tripod mount came loose on their NEX7 n it costs 400+US $ to replace unless the lens comes with a tripod mount
