Here are some samples from ZA24 + 5N. This combo performed really, really well for this event. This theater was cool to allow cameras, but of course no flash photography. I shot at f/1.8, except when I accidentally hit the dial. It had mixed lighting so I went with B&W, and all images have a fair bit of NR.
@Brian that 120 AMP is probably the lens with the strongest character i have ever seen, all your images with it have such brilliant colors and contrast...
In the future i won't write the exif data on my images, the content should be prime, not the technical data.

Thanks, the 120 Apo-MP is magic. Anything I point it at looks so nice I only use it wide open, as I can't change the aperture. Not that it's needed anyway.

Nice set, Phillip. I have to say, I'll miss having the EXIF data from your images, as I've learned a lot, particularly on the lenses we have in common. Still, I can't complain too much as I'm too lazy to record the aperture on my own MF shots.
let's see, Jeff that blue cafe Brian all great but the first two in the post before last==gazebo on little hill---excellent. Phillip you have a number up in the last two pages which evoked some involuntary gasps Really fantastic frost and looking down the endless fountain--or lake in the next post, just great as are a bunch of others.
RX100 arrived and I've been learning it. Some very cool setup options---right now on P you turn the ring and see two wheels speed and stop--press cent button you go to MF--it keeps your speed and now the ring does the focus. I do wish it was tilt and touch, but as you guys know, it has heavy build and weighs only 242 grams.
They should take the right front side and round it to make a grip---then use the space for the guts needed to support an external ginder--- or finder if you can spell. COme to think of an external grinder would be useful for espresso on the fly. The nex 5 is far superior to grab---right now with strap and cv35/1.4 it weighs 565 grams--but feels at least three times heavier than the RX.
I'd say low light noise is more than 5n. Now if it was 1,8 at 50.....then how fast at 19? Now it drops to 3.5 at 50. However it does seem pretty darn sharp for it's size even at 100. SO in 5n terms, its like a 19-75.
I have not yet tried the special digi zoom mode.. anyway best to all sry for OT
Phillip, your set is wonderful. It gives the impression that you keep getting better. Actually a bit depressing for lesser 'togs...
Brian, super stuff, I concur with the others.
Really cool, Jim! Can one CornerFix one's way out of issues with the G28 on the 7?
Philber - Concerning the corners on the NEX 7... Absolutely you can fix them with software.I found Cornerfix very awkward to use.LR4.2 with the new plug ins available are very nice and a few members here on this forum were kind enough to send me some calibration files that work very well.Also something else to try if you never have is under the HSL tab make sure "HUE" is selected and turn down the purple channel all the way.Makes very little if any difference in the color of the image but gets rid of the purple corners.
-Jim
The lens has great bokeh for sure, probably i will sell it anyway, its rather big and my Minolta macro is a better and more compact landscape lens plus i don't do 1:1 Macros very often and if i do i have spacer rings and bellows for that.

I won't stop sharing lenses here.

I heard that Vivitar 100mm f2.8 macro is great lens, but didnt expect that much.. amazing pics Phillip.
Otherwise, sure content is prime, but as we are on photographic forum, maybe gear is second.
thanks ;-). I think it is a rather nice macro lens, with especially nice bokeh and build quality, but modern macros are optically better.

thanks :-). I think i got quite a bit better in the last year, probably because it is so much fun to shoot with the nex and therefore i shoot more.

What I meant was it's useful seeing the aperture and other setting for shots you have taken on lenses I own, because it's given me a sense of how those lenses behave under certain settings and situations. But of course, it's your call.
It had mixed lighting so I went with B&W, and all images have a fair bit of NR.
