Romain - love the first shot! Last one is fantastic, too. Keep shooting with the kit, it's inspiring to see such nice work from it.
Question about the CV15. Will the 2nd version that is M mount adapt to EOS? Is there much size diff. between version 1 and version 2?? From what I read, optics are the same. I could not find a definite answer about using it on 5D2, which makes me think maybe not.
Tank Om!
Won't work. For an adapter to work the flange distance for the lens must be greater than the distance for the camera. The Nex is 18mm, Leica is 24? 25? Tha canon is 42? Can't remember exactly.

I'm not sure if this has asked before but would'nt it be better to start a seperate thread for each model of NEX?
After all there is a big difference in resolution between the NEX-3 and NEX-5, compared to the NEX-5N and an even bigger difference in resolution between the NEX-3, NEX-5 and NEX-5N, compared to the NEX-7.
This would'nt be a problem if everyone posting samples here mentioned which model of NEX camera they used and not just which lens was used every time they post...Not everyone in this thread does so it would be very helpfull for guys like me who are looking specifically for NEX-7 samples only....Show more →
meh, at websize they're all pretty much the same resolution. it's more about what kind of lenses you can use on these tiny cameras. also the difference in resolution between the NEX-3/5 and NEX-C3/5N is pretty much negligible.
anyway here's two shots from my morning constitutional. both with the NEX-3 and my contax g 45/2 at f/5.6 or f/8 (i forget).

I think the last one is fantastic sebboh. It doesn't necessarily look like a normal photo but it still appeals greatly.
Can you describe the process of putting it together? i.e. you mention 20 shots. Why so many? And then how you've combined them.
The first shot is also very very good.
thanks. i took 20 shots and stitched them together because i wanted a wide perspective with a fairly narrow dof and didn't want to back off a cliff into the ocean to get the shot. they were stitched together in photoshop like a panorama giving me the equivalent dof and field of view of as shot at 45mm lens at f/5.6 (i think) on a medium format camera rather than on an aps-c camera. before i had photoshop stitch the photos together i maxed out fill light in lightroom on each frame to bring back the shadows as i exposed the original shots for the highlights. after photoshop stitched the images together i brought the large image back into lightroom to fool with curves and graduated filters to try and make it look somewhat more like the actual scene. i think there was just too much dynamic range in the actual scene to make it look real in a color picture. i need to either drastically blow the highlight, blacked the shadows, or convert it to monochrome.

do you have a rig for that sebboh?
no. in fact, i did it one handed while holding my daughter to keep her from wandering into the picture. she kept trying to grab the lens though so i was a bit worried about fingers in front of the camera for some frames and took more than i needed.

thanks! here is a (slightly) more subdued version of the second one. no graduated filter, less highlight preservation, and less shadow preservation:
Pretty cool - both versions. I say if you're going to "simulate" a 67 shot, why hold onto reality for the processing?
Corposant, the 50 Cron is looking great. I've got one on order and if it ever shows up I'm going to do a Cron- ZM 50 torture test. Right now, the ZM 50 is pretty much glued to my 5N.
sebboh your 14mp of the snag above the bay is really superb (once I sell off alot of glass in the spring I have to get a 45--my cron is just not that vivid at such distance)
your second stich is striking; what beams!
