This was taken with the 5N (held vertically) and CV 15mm. There is a little vignetting and maybe some magenta color shift in the upper right corner of the image (which would be the upper left corner of the sensor when the camera is horizontal). But it isn't bad. On the other hand, the CV15 doesn't, in my opinion, do reds correctly. They come out too orange, and I have to adjust them.
This one was taken with the Contax G 90mm and cropped heavily. I cheated with this, and blurred the background, since it was not out of focus enough at f4.
Contax G 45...Nex 5N . Used focus peaking with camera overhead. A little tricky to focus..but managed quite well. Evanescence2 by Photos by Arthur Sukhbir, on Flickr
thank you for macro suggestions, i am looking in to all of them. Is the Contax 60 c the same as the ones I see called Contax 60 or are there two different Contax 60 lenses? thanks for your help joanlvh

The C version is compact, I think the regular version is a bit larger and is the S version (someone will undoubtedly correct me if I'm wrong about the S moniker ).
Got my CY 35-70 un-Leitaxed (UGH!) and tested it on Nex. The zoom feels a little unwieldy compared to small primes. Thinking 5N body might be better with my favorite lens.
