![]() I’ve use the little sweety with some of the most prestigious and expensive lenses money can buy (not mine, unfortunately )) and it never ever looked out-of-place. You cannot imagine how liberating this feels when you’ve struggled with slow AF systems for years in low light. The shutter mechanism is also ultra-fast. Since it’s never wasting its time focusing, it’s always instant. Philippe and I repeatedly found that my Elmarit 19/2.8 is much shallower than his Distagon 18/4, for instance. For some (unexplained to me) reason, some lenses seem to have much shallower depths of field than others (all else being equivalent). ![]() With such lenses, use focus peaking at its minimum and open the lens’ diaphragm. Wide angles can be more fussy and I often found myself back-focusing using Philippe’s Zeiss ZM18 Distagon. With long lenses, it’s usually easy to snap into focus. I know where I want to focus better than any electronic auto-focus knows where I want to focus.įocus peaking has its limits, but mostly work brilliantly. It has the best auto-focus system in the world ![]() Which cannot be said of many other cameras out there. By which I mean the sensor and lenses match well. It is compatible with a huge variety of lenses. The Sony NEX-5n is THE perfect camera for this. ![]() Always buy cameras that are compatible with your lenses, not the other way around. Once you love a lens, you keep it forever. The look of your pictures is created by the lenses. I’m not much of a high ISO aficionado, but you can certainly shoot fast in the dark if you cannot afford a tripod. This is true of this little gem of a NEX. You effectively spend much more time shooting and less time on Photoshop. Part of the joy of using Leica lenses and cameras is that out of camera files are just spot on and require much less tweaking than those from other brands. In that respect, it challenges pro cameras costing many times the price. Remember this is a tiny and cheap camera. WordPress makes the smaller on-page versions look quite fuzzy What’s to like ?
