Sony Alpha NEX Cameras and E Mount Lenses

Sony NEX with Zeiss Super Speed 16mm f/1.2 Arri Bayonet Mount Lens Here is an interesting lens we ran into on eBay. It is a Carl Zeiss 16mm f/1.2 lens made for the Arriflex Super 16mm cameras. Breguet Camera of Hong Kong is offering this lens and has modified it for the NEX E-mount. This Super 16 lens will not cover the NEX-5's APS-C sensor and will cause vignetting as seen in the sample pictures below. This may not be a problem if you crop the image or use it for videos. This lens will work with NEX cameras via an Arri to PL to E-mount lens adapter which is included with the auction. Here is more information on the Carl Zeiss Super 16mm MKI lens from cinematechnic.com : Super 16mm Mk.

Here's the cliff notes to Engadget's review of the Sony NEX-7: Access to DSLR features and performance in a small body. Provides DSLR quality images. Provides 10 frames per second shooting. Room for improvement on high-ISO capability, recommends ISO6400 max. To fully exploit the NEX-7's 24mp sensor, quality lenses like the Zeiss 24mm Sonnar ZA E will help. 18-55mm Kit Lens is capable and performs decently in low light. Focusing system accurate but not the fastest. No reason to hold back on ordering the NEX-7 . Read the full NEX-7 Review by Engadget here . Thanks Engadget!

Game Winning Shootout Goal - ISO200 1/320 f/4.0 We were lucky enough to get nice seats to the New Jersey Devils vs Anaheim Ducks. We brought the NEX-5 with a Minolta MD/SR to NEX/E-mount lens adapter the Minolta 45mm f/2 MD Rokkor-X. The combination easily fits into a jacket pocket. The 45mm f/2 on the NEX gives an equivalent FOV of 67.5mm, which allowed us to shoot the width of the ice from our seats. Here are a few shots from the night. Most of these are cropped which shows the lens' and NEX sensor capability.
