Denoir - terrific images. I especially like the ice reflection of the buildings.
As for comments on my earlier image of the door inside the "bunker".

It's funny because I was originally about to post the image below, when my 13 year old son who is steeped in the iphone aesthetic declared it boring and insisted I post the more "dramatic" 10mm image. I guess preferences are pretty subjective.
This image (which I like better than the one I posted earlier) was taken with the Canon 35mm f1.4L.
Hi all - I have a question for you regarding using my CV lenses on my Nex5. Which m-->e mount adapter do you use for accurate focus including infinity? Anyone use the Hawk adapter? Fotodiox?

Thanks!!
I tried the fotodiox adapter and some of my lenses would literally fall off the adapter. Your mileage may vary.
The Hawk adapter, on the other hand, I liked so much I ordered another one. Infinity is infinity. And the ability to focus closer than MFD is a big deal to me.
Finally, I can report that on m43 I had great luck with the voigtlander branded m-mount adapters.
Thanks! It's a little pricey, but if it's spot on and even decreases MFD then it's a deal!

I'm joining in with an NEX-5N that I bought a week ago or so. I never thought that I would ever use a camera without viewfinder, but I really like the little thing. These are shot with the CV 15/4.5 which I find very good.
The two first are handheld at ISO 3200 or thereabout and the third is on a tripod at ISO 1600, so don't judge the lens from these shots. There's a little bit of purple cast in the corners, but it only seem to matter at high ISO.
Edit: I'm using a crappy adapter for now but I've ordered the Hawks helicoid adapter that was shipped today. I also consider buying a tilt adapter for my Nikon lenses, which could be very cool I think.

Those shots are something extra Martin. Västberga #2? Cant figure out the lighting in #3 but it's good and a really moody self-portrait :-)
Thanks Wilhelm! The first two are shot at the east side of Bromma airport and the third at the west side. The lighting is just a distant street light, but the exposure was 5 seconds at f/4.5 and ISO 1600. By the way, it was ~2 hours ago.

Awesome shots. A quick question (I'm still learning)... Is there any reason to not use base ISO when shooting still objects from a tripod?
