I like the shot, Wilhelm, but I don\'t understand the comparison. I\'m not sure that manually focusing on the 5D2 with excellent glass would yield better results, just as I think the NEX with a decent AF lens could keep up with the 5D2 and simple good performing lens.
Yup, the comparison is unfair. I meant that even the primitive AF in a camera like 5D2 would take that shot to another level, ie it would be sharp where I want it to be. I bought the 5N with the vain idea that it could replace its older super-brother. Now I realize that (for me) two key qualities go down the drain with the NEX. One is DOF, second is how magnificent DSLR AF actually is in some situations. If I would have brought the NEX kit lens, it would not stand a chance against the 5D2 and say a \"simple\" EF 50/1.4. Now, if I would have had a manual lens (for the 5D2) to take a similar shot I would have done better too. With the 5D2 the shot is almost instant through the VF (but in this case I would have needed to kneel. This compared to my flimsy NEX displayclicks; enlarge - focus peek - back to 100% - compose - shutter. I dont see that go away from the NEX as I use it. But the pros-side is not empty at all. I wont elaborate, I really like the 5N and I have no intention of letting it go

Now I present you with \"the Crocodile\", an old 50\'s DDR Zeiss Jena 135/4. Full of dust, non-working aperture and focus ring that feels like concrete.
