Here is a Sony NEX-5N with the LA-EA2 lens adapter with phase detection autofocus and the 18-50mm f/2.8 lens from the Sony SLT a77 . As the video shows, the LA-EA2 adapter allows the NEX camera to autofocus almost all of Sony Alpha / Minolta A mount lenses. This is possible since the LA-EA2 has a built in motor and uses the translucent mirror technology from the Sony Alpha SLT line of cameras. The 15 point Phase Detection AF provides fast focusing speeds. The only exception are the Minolta xi lenses and teleconverters. The LA-EA1 lens adapter will only autofocus Sony SAM and SSM lenses . The LA-EA2 A mount to E mount lens adapter will be available on October 14, 2011 and will cost $399.99 Sony NEX-5n with LA-EA2 and Carl Zeiss 85mm ZA Lens The video is by Imaging Resource . Thanks!

Sony NEX-7 TriNavi Demo The video above shows the Sony NEX-7 TriNavi or Tri-Dial Navi Controls. The new user interface allows for quick and easy adjustments without going into too many menus. Once you have customized and familiarized yourself with the NEX-7 TriNavi adjustments will become second nature. We have never found the NEX-5 controls fuzzy especially after the Firmware 3.0 update which allowed for Customized Softkeys but the TriNavi is definitely an improvement. The NEX-7 in the video is in Aperture Priority mode and the TriNavi was used to adjust the following: Aperture/Exposure Compensation/ISO Focus Points White Balance Dynamic Range/HDR Adjustments Creative Styles and Adjustments The NEX-7 is then switched to Picture Effect mode and the TriNavi is used to go through the options. The video below shows the Sony Alpha SLT-a77's electronic viewfinder (EVF), which is the same XGA 2.35 Million dot OLED EVF used on the Sony NEX-7. The video shows a horizon / level in

Sony NEX Macro Extension Tubes with 40mm Rokkor-M Lens Here are some sample shots using the Sony NEX E-mount macro extension tubes and some Rokkor-M lenses. The tubes contain no optical elements. They move the lens further away from the NEX's APS-C sensor therefore reducing the focusing distance and increasing magnification. The trade off to extension tubes are that more light is needed, which can be compensated with slow shutter speeds or high ISO. The shots below were handheld in bright daylight which is not ideal for macro shots. A walk around a small park with the NEX-5 , tubes, and the 40mm Rokkor-M gives us a different perspective. This fruit below is still unknown to us and was already interesting but at 100% zoom, a small community of insects makes it even more interesting. 100% Zoom on Image Sony NEX E-mount Extension Tubes Here are more samples from the 40mm Rokkor-M lens at f/8 or f/11 at high ISO.
