Sorry for the grainy camera porn, this is the best I could do with a blackberry phone and newspapers for light diffuser in the office

How much is ur Leica?

 

[PannyMMM]

I received my CCTV lens today! Just did a quick test, the build is solid and there is no hair or dust inside. :bsmilie:
The bokeh at f1.7 is nice!
Some sample photos:

oh so the cine lens still comes with the adapter ? Ah the description made it sound as if its a E mount cctv lens.

This is a 1 inch lens ? I m just wonderig , comparing to the pentax sold by chiff , how well will it fare.

I wanted to get also , but face some error page when making payment , so didnt proceed

It is standard CCTV lens + C-to-NEX adapter. The lens format is 2/3".

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

never tried before so dont know...

I am also interested to try. Maybe who has Pentax 25mm can meet up and do some test together .

I find my lens has vignette also when the lighting is not strong. Besides that, my lens has 2 different characteristic. When shoot near subject, it has milky bokeh. When shoot far subject (focus far to infinite), it has miniature effect, quite interesting toy.

I added more photos here, the coverage already from indoor to outdoor, from day to night. :bsmilie:

any recommendations for a better lens alternative to replace the nex 16mm (since it meant for landscape shot n not really for people shots)?

I would recommend voigtlander with the leica m adapters . You can get 35m 1.4, 40mm 1.4, at affordable prices.

Checkmout chiif site for pricing

If you can wait for the rumored nex firmware patch that Will enable autofocus on alpha lenses with ssm/Sam , you will have Carl zeiss 24mmf2 , Sony 35mm 1.8 and 85mm f2.8 to use

thks for the recommendation? newbie here...

how much is the price range for the voig? planning to use the nex5 as a compact PnS with one lens (other than the 16mm), and waiting for the SEL18200 for more serious photography~

Ranges from 400 to 1k plus but these are all manual focus lens but the iq and sharpness is superb.

U google chiif camera , the price list is there

just wondering.. when you select manual focus on the nex with these manual cctv lens, does the camera automatically zoom-in to aid focusing on the lcd?

Not for my CCTV lens. There is no electronic contact from CCTV to camera body, so body doesn't recognize the lens and don't know it is zooming.
When I need x14 magnify, I press the MF assist manually.

it all about manual~ it is a great challenge to me. force me to practice fully manual~

kekek shot from wisma sony shop

some shots today from this lens..it is not a perfect circle for the bokeh but i sitll love it.
