In the NEX-C3, in manual mode, is there a way to turn off live preview when using a manual lens?

I want it to use a higher ISO for the preview but I want it to capture the image with the ISO I set!

i think only the NEX-7 gives you that option.

Noooooooo!

Okay I guess small workaround is to be in shutter mode, use spin wheel to set super low shutter speed, focus, set shutter back to normal.

Looks like the new slow zoom sucks and has magenta shift.

Hmmm might need to try out the 16-50mm f2.8 alpha mount on an laea1 to see just how slow and unwieldy it is.

Rumors are starting to pop up about the touch screen in the 5R being different than the 5N.

IIRC, my 5N also had that option.

Some lovely pink corners on the NEX-7 with the new 10-18.

http://www.sonyuserforum.de/forum/showthread.php?t=124123

At least it doesn't appear to be smearing though stopped down.

For $850, I kind of expected better.

Yeah. Sigh. They've totally just said "screw it" regarding the 7's sensor, apparently.

I think Sigma 8-16mm it is for me if the upcoming Zeiss E-Mount UWA exhibits the same problem.

Hmmm... it looks like the f8 samples are showing pretty good corner sharpness there at 10mm after the abberations were corrected. Disclaimer, I don't speak German (or Dutch??)

I guess the 7 is destitute, but us 16mp users may still welcome the 10-18.

Anyone seen more samples from it lately?

Oh, yeah. That's not going to make 7 shooters happy.

Is that inside info, Jeff, or speculation?

Is anyone using or thinking about purchasing a Samyang 8mm fish? The samples look pretty good, but I haven't seen anything on a 7. Does it have color shift as well?

I assume you are taling about the f/2.8 Version?
I think it does shift. Have a look at this page

"as an extra step during the postprocessing you have to use cornerfix to remove the purple corners and the vignette from the to dng-files converted raws."

you can see some shifting in thisshot from the author:

Have you seen this on SAR?

“We saw our product and video in your website! We are so happy about that!! We are now developing the Contax G to Sony NEX adapter with AF function and it is almost finish. We will update the information to you very soon.Some people email us about Nikon G to NEX (AF support) adapter. We will start this project around November(after Contax G to NEX AF adapter) and we think we will finish it before April 2013.”

Contax G to NEX with AF!!! Wow! I'm so glad I invested on the whole G collection (minus the Hologon and the zoom)! Nikon sounds good, also. Now, if Sony released a FF NEX, I'd be over the moon.

Sounds cool, but I'd still prefer a helicoid-based manual focusing adapter for Contax G.
