Alan, the pink leaf shot really stands out for me. Adam, great 'macro' work. Your sharpening is just right, doesn't feel over processed but yet everything really pops. This is from Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City, KS. I was trying to find an image that sums up our trip!

@alan, yeah, the mushroom shots are lovely, that lens has great close focus capability.

@photoomaha, that last shot just works. Fun stuff.

Thanks all, must try the Vivitar with the Minolta close-up #2 sometime, it works well on the FDn 35/2:

Beautiful rose, Mawz!

mushrooms are very cool

Samyang 8mm

Cool shot with the fisheye. We need some more fisheye shots on this thread I think!

Alan, that bee is awesome!

Thanks Jacob - it's a hover-fly (bee/wasp mimicking fly). I've made that mistake before! :-)

love the mushrooms! and that is a great little lens on the NEX.

some more shots with the 35 lux:








first two are wide open, the last is at f/5.6.

Hobbes, that fence image is incredible. Absolutely stunning colors and contrast going on.

From this afternoon, took the kids to a professional dodge ball place, they had a blast. The tilting screen on the Nex 6 was perfect for this type of shot. Nex 6 with the Sigma 19mm. As you can tell, my kids take dodge ball very seriously!

I hate to post this here, but I have this adapter for NEX to Minolta and haven't been able to sell it. I find very hard to believe there are so many NEX users that don't need this adapter....if anyone is interested buy it off me.... THANKS

@photoomaha: Thanks!
@alan_m, love the hoverfly shots.
@sebboh: great work with the Lux, I don't normally like that soft look, but you're really making it work.

^^ fantastic!

thanks mawz and photoomaha!

i started doing my 35 lux versus c/y 35/1.4 comparison, which i'll be posting about here: http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1190503

doing some of the comparison i discovered something very disconcerting, my sensor appears to be out of alignment now on my NEX-7. across a number of lenses and adapters one side appears to be shifted out of focus at infinity if i focus on the other side.

@ sebboh: Thanks! Hope your Problem with the NEX can be fixed soon. Thomas

Amazing images on here - a couple with my NEX6 and my new CV 15mm

Seems a to be a bit softer than the Sigma 19mm in the corners but the microcontrast is outstanding

A little fun on a shopping trip today with my NEx7. Took the Sigmarits with me to get a few shots along the way. I'm just in awe of how well the cheap little lenses perform.

30mm Sigma:
Charlottesville Virginia downtown mall. Well worth the trip. I found a Rokkor MC 28 2.8 in one of the pawn shops for 20.00. What would I have to lose?


A couple with the 19mm Sigma.
Parking Garage stairway.


An abandoned store. I ran into the owner who said the interior is untouched from when his grandfather closed it in 1973. He invited me back to take some interior shots.
