Pictures from NEX 7, Thread I

[Atarandas]

Thanks yes I saw these pics, and aware of the color cast. Thanks for the tips about LR3, haven't heard Bout this before

On the conversion, actually its very simple. At the import page when we select pictures,there is an option called "Copy as DNG". So this will convert all the Sony raw into DNG for further manipulation.


Took some shots with the NEX 7 with Tokina 11-16mm 2.8, surprisingly the setup isnt too heavy and I still can hold it using one hand

Hi,

I managed to shot with Leica 75mmf2APO this afternoon. I found manual focusing on Nex7 is easier than GRX M-module with EVF. It is likely due to the high resolution of Nex7 built-on EVF and allow to change the peak coloring.

Overall, it is fun to shot Nex-7 with M-lenses and will be using it for some of mine problematic front/back focusing ltm/m lenses.

Here are two pix with 75mm f2 APO:

Cheers!

The details is a lot better than the sonty kit lens it seems. Do u like nex 7 over the gxr?

One thing very nice about the NEX-7's sensor is that its 24 megapixel images are very crop-able with high details. Took some photos of my daily beater with the Zeiss 24 mm lens. Its not meant for macro work but I think the results look not too bad.

I am not sure if this means more details as sensor size is not bigger than other cams like 5n or gxr
Feeling like just boost up the resolution (which you can do it in camera raw too)
As per resolution it's already higher than full frame camera like canon 5d mark2 but the details on the photo is not close at all. I have seen gxr vs 5n that gxr photos more crisp (16m less details than a 12m pixels) and 5n vs 7 that 7 carries better details on other compassion. So pixels size don't must mean a better quality...

Sensor technology is evolving so much that comparing sensor size may not be entirely accurate. Things you have to consider include:

- Sensor type (CCD, CMOS)
- Sensor package configuration (BSI, FSI, etc)
- Sensor pixel pitch
- Presence of microlens
- Many many other technologies

For example, look at this new sensor technology:

The sensor of the future maybe APS sized but it will have more imaging area than an older APS sized sensor

There's also new sensors which does 'pixel-binning' which allows multiple sensors to combine and act as a single pixel. This will greatly increase the low light capability at the cost of resolution.

I see. Here makes the comparsion job more difficult

I second this..
Hahaha..

The SEL16F28B was conceived by passion.
It's like having your own child. You wont want any other man/woman to help.hehe

It's very easy to do.
What you need.
1. Vinyl Sticker
2. Very sharp penknife, get the pointy type blade (~25 degree), not the normal 45 degree kind.
3. Very straight ruler,(steel ruler preferred). dont laugh, there are not-so-straight rulers around.

measure the circumference of the less barrel, add 1 or 2 inches for play.
measure the width of the barrel you want to cover. (do separate section per flat surface).
measure & cut to size that vinyl sticker.
open the backing of vinyl sticker at one end. just about an inch will do. Do not remove the whole strip. the backing prevent the sticker from stretching too much & you dont pick up dust.
make sure the lens barrel is free of dust,lint, hair, oil.
stick the open end, make sure the strip is aligned to the edge.
go around the lens barrel as you remove the backing paper. this reduce chances of trapping air bubble.
Do not pull the sticker too hard. this will stretch it, not good.
at the other ending, leave some sticker to overlap the starting point. cut as desire.

repeat & practise. vola, you get black.

I have seen gxr vs 5n that gxr photos more crisp (16m less details than a 12m pixels)

The 5N uses the same sensor as the Nikon D7000 & Pentax K5, so it's definitely got more resolution than the GXR. If you don't see higher resolution, its due to the lens not being able to resolve the detail OR with symmetrical rangefinder lens designs like the wide Biogon, Voigtlander lenses which smear details in the corners to to light coming in at an extreme angle. The 12MP Ricoh module has better "tuned" microlenses for the wideangle rangefinder glass, which correct this. If you use Leica glass or longer Biogon designs like 35mm and above, you should be able to get better resolution than the GXR.

Hmm the test used both 50 lux on both gxr and 5n, which gxr pics quite obvious crisper with more details, maybe due to the aa filter on sony sensor i suspect. Its the review by digialrev at youtude by kai.

The GXR has no AA filter so it should be crisper than the 5N.

I haven't use my NEX7 with SEL18200 yet, now loan to a friend...

She 's a noob so she uses all the auto settings...

She just told me that all her indoor shots appears very grainy whereas outdoor shots are very good.

I will be getting the Oly OM-D EM5 with the kit 12~50 lens later next month so I will do a comparison.

Meantime, NPNT for now (remember NEX-7) still not in my hand.

I was hoping someone will post some real untouch photos (indoor shots) so that we can comment & appreciate.

Cheers,

Whatever camera it is, it is only a tool.
Only skilled craftsman familiar with his/her tool can bring out its full potential.

Why some people think that just by getting a good camera will get them good picture?

A 6400iso shot. Quite noisy, but also cause it was under exposed and i needed to pull it up by 0.7ev...

Generally i found the metering of the Nex7 to be 0.5-1ev under...

some others that i like, but won't hold up to pixel peeps, so gonna just put small sized ones.

Hi intosite, may i know which adapter you used/recommend to mount CV 28mm f2 on nex?

Hi intosite, may i know which adapter you used/recommend to mount CV 28mm f2 on nex?

i'm using 2 adapters. some cheap $20 off ebay, and the other is the Hawk Peng's helicoid adapter from taiwan. if i know i will be walking around and not doing any close focusing <.7m i'll use the normal adapter. Cause i always find that i'm always accidentally turning it when i take my cam out of the bag or just slinging up...
cause i zone focus majority of the time, and it's quite irritating that it's always off from the lens' distance markings

 

[rawNature]

I am using this latest Nat Geo sling bag. For NEX 7 walkabout shooting.
No sponge padding so it is slimmer at the expense of protection level, which I can accept for less bulk.

In there, I can keep a body with 3 lenses.
1. NEX 7 with SEL24F18Z-24mm F1.8 mounted
2. Samyang 8 mm F3.5 Fisheye for Nikon with Nik-Nex adaptor mounted (I can fit another E 18-55mm lens after i change my 8mm Samyang to the new Samyang 8mmF2.8 for NEX..waiting for release.)
3. SEL16F28 - 16mm F2.8 E mount.
4. Raynox 250 macro adaptor lens kit.
5. one card reader plus one spare NP-FW50 battery,plus some spare memory cards.
6. 3 Lenspens (EVF, LCD, Lens) plus cleaning cloth.
7. My passport holder & mini ball-point pen.

That's for APS-C sensor with EVF. Compact yeah!
