NEX-5 with Voigtlander 12mm Ultrawide Heliar Lens by Nakagane M



Let's go wide with the Sony NEX via the Voigtlander 12mm f/5.6 Ultrawide Heliar Lens in Leica M mount. This is the widest rectilinear prime lens for Leica M cameras and it does well on the NEX's APS-C sensor. The lens gives an equivalent focal length of 18mm on the NEX cameras for photos and 21.6mm for videos. Below are sample photos by Nakagane M and aelianus taken with the NEX and the CV 12mm f/5.6 Ultrawide Heliar.

    I gotta thank you for this blog. I was considering buying a NEX-5 for some casual photography, but didn't realize people can go real hardcore with this camera - now I am already on the order for my camera, hoping to receive it this week. Thank you SonyAlphaNex, you guys are /awesome/, hope to read about more interesting lenses.

    PS - Voigtlander 12mm Ultrawide, oh my God, this lense, I want it now. Too bad there is no where I can find a cheap pair. If any has a second hand one willing to sell, don't hesitate to email me -> bluelegopiece@hotmail.com

    Which adapter did you use and can this combination focus to infinity; does the adapter act like an extension tube in this respect.

      There are plenty of Leica M to E-mount adapters which achieve infinity focus. And there are also M to E adapters which include a focusing helicoid that can act like an extension tube but also achieve infinity focus in normal state. Voigtlander and Novoflex are the big names in E-mount adapters.

How To Install OpenMemories AppStore

OpenMemories App Shown on Camera's Application Tab DHI Enterprises shows us how to install a third party application for Sony Cameras which support the PlayMemories Camera Apps. The third party OpenMemories AppStore can now be installed using the same method shown. WARNING from the OpenMemories AppStore developer: Is it safe? This is an experiment in a very early stage. All information has been found through reverse engineering. Even though everything worked fine for our developers, it could cause harm to your hardware. If you break your camera, you get to keep both pieces. We won't take any responsibility. However, this seems to be safer than tampering with your camera firmware directly. We're just interacting with the isolated Android subsystem. Apps you install this way can be uninstalled in the applications manager. In the worst case, a factory reset of the camera clears all data on the Android partitions. How To Install OpenMemories AppStore on your Sony C...
