Hmm Can you share your perspective on the dof differences between evf and slr ?

Sorry...im nt sure abt this as i tried only xpro1 evf before...what im saying is..if i look thru my lens on slr..i can see de focused area vs de bokeh as per wat i will get in my pics...im nt sure if it works de same on an evf since mirrorless r not thru de lens view?

I may be wrong...pls let me know if its nt true..

No worries cheers, we are all sharing and learning together here. The evf will also show the same dof . It's basically wysiwyg . The biggest down side of evf is the contrast issue where we may not see the details as clearly as Ovf in extreme bright or dark environments . There is an option to not apply shooting effects on the evf . Meaning to say, whatever exposure settings we change , the evf will attempt to auto gain and stay bright . This would be useful for night shooting and studio with flash . Then again, due to auto gain, the evf turns out to be grainy in the shadows and dark Areas.

For 90 percent of the time , the evf will work well for the average shooters and casual ones on holidays. It's the demanding 10 percent that makes the Ovf badly missed.

Having said that not all Ovfs will be missed . The cheap penta mirror types that are usually small and dark with no 100 percent view will not have much advantage against the evfs.

Thanks pal...its very informative..:)
 

Can't remember whether I posted this but love the rendition of this black cat.

5N with CV 12mm f/5.6 . . .

Strangely enough, this lens seems a bit sharper with the NEX-7. Even stranger, it has less color shift on the 7 than the 15mm does.

But no color shift on the 5N.

Interesting...

Shot with kit lens 18-55 at 35mm f4.5. Hope the coming E 35f1.8 is very much better.

Looks like Asian Koel to me. A relative of the kuckoo, these are the ones that make that loud calling sound at dusk and dawn (and before storms when the sky gets dark, which is why they are also called storm birds). They target crows nests to lay their eggs in for the crows to raise the chicks.

Note: Those look like females. The males tend to have a black plumage.

Thanks, yes my brother, a bird shooter, confirms that it's the Asian Koel that some people hate for being noisy. I love them.
You're right, these could be mother and daughter as I missed the shot when she was feeding her.

One more.

Finally caught the male Asian Koel. This black bird is very hard to capture and also very camera shy.

Pentax M 200f4 at f8, ISO 800.
