very alt: Leitz Summarit 1.5/5cm on NEX


That lens is about 3 times the weight of a nex. It was great to use though.

I will post shots of my Leica R lenses on the NEX-5 later (90mm f/2.8 and 28mm f/2.8) but since we seem to be posting general mirrorless shots with 'regular' lenses, here's some from this fall on the NEX-5. So far I'm finding DR and color are excellent and the for the price, the lenses are also pretty good:

Love it Vern, especially the Lundbrek Falls bridge shot. I hike down those steps many a time to take a few shots. Love the composition and colors. Something about the bridge that draws me back.

I also like the Larch Valley shot looking at the mountains gives a feeling of winter until I see all those Larchs with needles still clinging on then it feels like a warm autumn day.

Look forward to seeing some with the Leica Rs

Vern,

You've made a very good use of these otherwise average lenses.As always it is a photographer that matters most.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. PP for the NEX is a lot like PP was for the Nikon D90. I always shoot RAW (Except for the sweep panos of course) and develop in Lightroom. For the RAW photos it's usually a bump in fill light and then just tweaking the local contrast and some saturation adjustments. Sharpening is always done on output.

I find the NEX has good DR which allows the in-camera jpg to be pretty good when you do sweep panos.

Yeah - other than the 18-200 they are quite average. Of course the 18-200 makes some compromises as well considering it's zoom range. I can't wait for some high quality glass in the E mount...

Ok folks. Bad weather today but here are the first shoots of my new old Leitz Summarit 1.5/5cm. This lens is low contrast and needs some boost within Lightroom for the right colors. The bokeh is unique. Too bad the NEX have only a crop sensor. Hopefully Sony release a fullframe NEX someday.

I just picked up a NEX5 and pulled out some old Olympus OM lens, 28mm F/3.5 (2) 50mm F/1.8, 85mm F/2, and a 200mm F/4. I ordered a rainbow imaging adapter for the OM mount and it arrives on Wednesday. I might get a chance to use it when I go to Disneyland over Thanksgiving so I will try and put up some examples of these lenses. Has anyone tried these before on the NEX5?

definitely a character lens. i really like the effect in the second and 3rd shots. definitely doesn't look as hazy as my nikkor HC 5cm f/2.

Thanks. I have been going out daily before they closed some of these roads for winter. Today was the last day. Took my smaller bag it only holds 6 lenses. I changed what I took for each trip. Today was a little warmer 0C but the winds made it at times feel like like -10C.
