Sony Alpha NEX Cameras and E Mount Lenses

Canon 6D vs Sony NEX-7 with Metabones Speedbooster Tarocoo wanted to see what the NEX-7 with the Canon EF to E-mount Speedbooster can do against his full frame Canon 6D .

The 135mm Lens Battle Combatants Part 1 for Larger Pictures Here is the second part of our NEX-7 135mm Lens Battle. Part 1 discussed 135mm lens handling on the NEX-7. We tested three prime lenses (Canon 135/3.5 LTM, Konica 135/3.5, Minolta 135/3.5 MD) and two zoom lenses (Canon 70-200/2.8L, Olympus 75-150/4). The zoom lenses were set at 135mm approximately. The lenses tested are around $100 or less with the exception of the Canon zoom. The shots were taken at wide open aperture (f/2.8, f/3.5, or f/4) and the at f/8.
