Sony NEX Canon EOS Lens Adapter

Image
Here is RJ Adapter's Sony NEX E-mount to Canon EOS EF Lens adapter. We can now use Canon EOS EF and EF-S lenses. But it will only shoot at maximum aperture. A trick to set it at a different aperture is to hold down the DOF preview button, on a Canon EOS body, while removing the lens at the same time - use at your own risk. This also opens up a world of possibilities since there are EOS lens adapters for many manual lenses including Contax/Yashica, Leica-R, Olympus Zuiko, Pentax Takumar, and the list goes on... The tripod mount/feet is a very smart idea, the Sony LA-EA1 E-mount to Sony Alpha has one as well.

Sony NEX-5 vs Leica CL

Image
restoration35 shows us how compact the Sony NEX-5 really is. Here it is with it's 18-55 OSS lens next to a Leica CL with a Leica 40mm Summicron-C f/2.0. And hopefully he'll use a Sony NEX E-mount to Leica M adapter to mount the 40mm onto the Sony NEX-5. What a great set of gears to own. Thanks restoration35 !

Sony 30mm Macro on the Sony NEX-5

Image
fotoingo posted his Sony 30mm f/2.8 Macro mounted on the Sony NEX-5 via the LA-EA1 Alpha to E-mount lens adapter. This looks to be a great combination for a normal lens with an effective focal length of 45mm on the Sony NEX cameras. It's a fairly compact lens that will give us macro at the same time. Check out the detail he captured in the macro samples below. Thanks (c) www.fotoingo.com !

Sony NEX-5 Sensor Beats Canon 7d - DxOMark

Image
DxOMark tested the Sony NEX-5 and NEX-3 and found both to be more than capable. DxOMark found that the sensors showed excellent color depth, dynamic range, and low-light ISO performance. The NEX-5 topped the Canon EOS 7d dslr (by a slight margin), Olympus PEN E-P2, Panasonic Lumix GH1, and the Sony Alpha 450. Here is DxOMark's disclaimer: Disclaimer: This dxomark review evaluates only the selected camera’s RAW sensor performance metrics (i.e., Color Depth, Dynamic Range, and Low-Light ISO), and should not be construed as a review of the camera’s overall performance, as it does not address such other important criteria as image signal processing, mechanical robustness, ease of use, flexibility, optics, value for money, etc. While RAW sensor performance is critically important, it is not the only factor that should be taken into consideration when choosing a digital camera.
