Nex 5 lens alternative

[Atarandas]

heard Chiff's pentax lens quite sharp but might vignette on the larger sensor of NEX5?

never tried before so dont know...

Cine lens will vignette for sure la but not necessary a bad thingy like shown in some of the photos. Cine lens also vignette on m4/3 systems , can't run away de

Love the vignette. But depends on individual.

Anyone tried m42 lens with nex?
where u buy the adapter frm?

Auto focus on the Amount is very slow. However manual focus is Great not able to keep up with action shots.

Have the E18-200, it focses faster and has Steadyshot built in.

But must still say quality of A mount lenses far superior.

Is there a substitute zoom lens for E 18-200 F/3.5-6.3?

Looking for a similar one but at a lower cost....any recommendations?

Thanks

Yes, using the LA-EA1 adapter. Do note though that only SAM and SSM lenses will autofocus.

The 75-300 will be manual focus only.

Yes, that is exactly what I said. But the Minolta 75-300 is a screw-driven lens. So before trying to correct me, get the facts right.

Sorry leh... You quoted me so I thought you were trying to correct me.

No problem lah
Anyway, The firmware should support another electrical motor like HSM, anybody confirm and test it?

Received my CCTV 35mm f/1.7 today from a nice gentleman here.
So happy with the results. Looks like from an expensive lens! :bsmilie:

HSM? Oh, you mean the Sigma term. Well, in theory, yes... Never tried it though.

Hi, Using large zoom lenses (18-200mm) in low light blocks the AF assist beam of the small camera so that AF results in poor quality of IQ.

AF and IQ? I think you mean that you have less sharp shots? IQ for a sharp pic would not be impacted by the AF lamp being blocked.
