FF NEX will be stupid if people are planning/expecting to use DSLR-style large lenses on it. I think the real key for FF NEX will be smaller RF type (think M mount) lenses.


Until somebody comes out with a FM2n-sized FF DSLR there's still a great argument for using DSLR lenses on a FF Mirrorless. Plenty of good glass in FF isn't massive, especially for mid-speed primes in the 20-135mm range.

A FF NEX-9 with a set of Nikkor AI-S or Contax primes sounds very much like an ideal setup to me, and definitely not a large kit. Think 28/2.8 AI-S, 50/1.2 AI-S, 105/2.5 AI-S or 28/2.8D, 50/1.4P, 100/3.5S

That would be an awesome kit.

Yes, but no AF.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

I dont need AF.

And I wouldnt say "no" to option of having huge OVF with ability to MF with high precision (and including true DOF preview). Camera without AF can have bigger (and most important is, brighter) OVF.

Maybe Im not only one who would like such camera?

I'm re-evaluating M4/3 was well.

I may bail on it and instead buy a RX100 or G1X (or future replacement).

I keep going back to my G10 for convenience, even though it has a much smaller sensor than M4/3. By comparison, both these formats are minuscule compared to DSLR (FF is my favorite). M4/3 is much bulkier than a large sensor P&S. It just doesn't make sense for cost and size to carry both M4/3 and DSLR, whereas the P&S type just slips in a small space.

I do like AF for a P&S, and if I'm going to be methodical or use MF, it may as well be with a larger sensor.

No prejudice against others choosing M4/3 or other formats. I've seen some very good work in all formats including tiny P&S.

Anyway, that's what's going through my head regarding M4/3 or other interchangeable lens system outside of EOS.

I want both.

Hm, not possible I think. You would need AF sensors somewhere in pentaprism area. Or you need bigger sensor (and as consequence, bigger OVF). Something like Leica S.

Many have walked that path and failed, I am sure, Yakim.

Mawz, stop making sense ;-) That's my go too. C'mon Sony we know you can do it..actually the new Sony chief has sacrificed a couple of Alpha models in pursuit of more 'innovation'. That's a better road for them to travel.

AF is currently typically implemented by having a small, secondary mirror behind the primary mirror, and a semi-transparent (not translucent, Sony!) area which lets some light through to hit the smaller mirror, and then the AF sensors on the floor of the mirrorbox. There may be other ways to do this. Anyway, thus some of the light is not used to make a bright image in the OVF, but to focus.

Well, up to now I thought OVF in DSLR are bright enough...

Happy shooting,

People are always going to moan about VFs of any kind short of a HUD from an F-15. If I used a OVF today I would want the Mamiya 7's polarised one. I bet a lot of photos got shot just because the VF made the scene look so good. Any APS-C OVF looks a bit tunnel-like. They all work though. People are spoilt and want the camera to 'come to them', not the other way around.

I'll tell you after I use the Mamiya 7... In the meantime, Canon's FF OVF's (and 7D) are my standards.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.
