some left overs from a lens i sold that is definitely not recommended for producing 3D (awesome for size, build, and characterful bokeh though) - nikkor HC 5cm f/2.
yup, no selective sharpening or selective blurring (or selective anything else). only post processing was curves adjustment, saturation, and i think some recovery to pull back the blown highlights on some duck feathers. my downsizing/sharpening algorithm probably made the bokeh a little harsher than it would be otherwise.
As I very impatiently wait for my Biogon C 35 and my contax G 45 for my new NEX-5, I just can't help but post a couple of images taken with the kit 18-35. I can't wait to see the difference some really good glass will make.

awesome, that could make manual focusing the NEX as fast or faster than a rangefinder! would be particularly helpful for fast wide angles.
Agreed. Suddenly, manual lens focusing may be a much faster endeavor. Very cool.
^^ You really have to hand it to Sony if they come out with new firmware for our NEX's that have this highlighted focus area feature. I mean, why hasn't anyone else come out with something like this. Pretty innovative stuff!
I'll just be happy if we can bracket wider than a 0.7 range (how stupid of limitation is that!) and also if we could actually bracket when using the remote.
I mean really....why on earth would any photographer ever want to put their camera on a tripod and remotely fire a bracketed series of exposures (wider than 0.7 stops apart too I might add) ??
I mean what on earth would someone want to do with taking several photos that are perfectly aligned but that have a wider exposure range ??
