Olympus 200m f4 ; 1/1600 ISO400
wa... wat kind of zoom is tat? digital zoom?You mean Liddat ? ...taken with the DCR 250 on a FZ100 at 24x zoom (about 600mm FOV - 35mm)
Haiz ! ...Bro, I was trying to tell/show you that if you want more magnification of your macro shots with the DCR 250, you'll need a longer zoom than your 55mm.
The focusing distance remains the same (about 90-110mm) but the magnification increases.
so if lets say i get 210 zoom + dcr 250 i can get full bug face?
Really depends on how big your bug is ! ...big headed bug should be able to see the facial hair !
...small head ones, you lucky if can see the compound eyes.That dragonfly head is about 8mm across, shooting at f8, the DOF is too thin and please note that the focal length in 35mm format is 600mm.

A few more from Haw Par Villa with Nikkor 50f1.2 ais.
F1.2
Stop between F1.2 and f2.

o I c sorry
No worries. This was taken by my drinking buddy at Brewerks Stadium after a couple of pints. The back of the iPhone 4 is made of glass and like a mirror, coupled with the shallow DOF of the 30mm Macro lens, it made for some good blurring.

Looks like the ais 28mm is more contrasty compared to the 50mm..
here is one from the ais20mm
Still working on getting pics from the 28mm but it will take a while for me to get use to that FL.. The crc really spoiled me, just wish my 20mm can go as close as the 28mm

Not sure whether you were talking to me. Couple of comments:
1. Most of the 50f1.2 shots were taken at f2 or bigger, so its shots will tend to be less contrasty as against the 28f2.8. Infact, most of the photos were good enough for me not to boost too much on contrast, vibrance and saturation.
2. The ais 28f2.8 is such a fantastic lens for the money when you compare it to the Leica R Elmarit 28f2.8, especially the later version that can cost 1.5k and above. I can't afford the Leica and it was between this and the Zeiss Contax Distagon 28f2.8 which is slightly more expensive. I chose the Nikkor because it has virtually no faults and closer MFD. With this lens, I don't need the 30f3.5 macro as I only need close focus for flowers. Also, 28 on NEX is the perfect FOV, 42mm, for me.
3. I have used the 20f2.8 ais before on my Canon 5D and didn't quite like the corners but I am sure it will be Ok on the NEX 5N. The shot above, what's your white balance as it seems a bit off.

Oh, quoted the wrong person!
No doubt the 28mm is bang for the buck and your poisonous flower caught me.. LOL
20mm on the other hand is softer at the corner but its still plenty sharp. I'll see if i can get 100% crop to show..
Sorry about the WB as I usually leave the WB auto but problem with me is that I'm viewing it on a 42" LCD HD TV connected to my laptop so i'm not sure how accurate it is as it looks ok on my end but just a tat warm.
I also have to enlarge the fonts for reading which in turn cause the pictures to be enlarged too so sometimes it doesnt look the same as I anticipate it to be..
IIRC, this is OOC jpeg except running it through my workflow to add the watermark but i'll have to check again.
Now that you mention about the WB, it does look pinkish on my office notebook but again, the LCD is not calibrated

I shoot only raw and I don't quite like in-camera jpec processing to mimic styles that I used in flim ages ago. I prefer the classical look as protrayed by just lens and sensor, and in this case, the NEX 5N sensor is extra-ordinary, especially with legacy lenses. The new Zeiss 25f2 will be another classic to go with NEX 5N but it's so darn expensive, so I may have to live with the Nikkor 24f2 ais instead, to save some money on adapters also.

back in the days where 4mp (d2h ya!), 6mp raw files are small and manageable but now my notebook is struggling with the large files as my HD slowly fills up. External HD is good but still slow and quite a hassle.. so now, im trying to get away with RAW as much as possible since the jpeg quality on the new sensors are pretty good.
My D700 RAW is also huge as compared so i have custom settings that switches between RAW and jpeg based what im shooting. For pictures that need wider DR, RAW is must but for random snaps and street photography, jpeg is more than adequate for me.
