I do wish that all the time when something I want isn't there.

Hi Jono, great natural light shots (by the way we still have your picture of the flowers hanging on our wall at home...). I momentarily thought the first one was Emma....
When did you get the Zeiss? Its not perfect - a tad too much CA on specular highlights and back-lit objects for my liking - but it is the best lens I have so far used on the Nex-7.
Cheers

Thanks Q - I'd forgotten about the flowers!
As for the lens - it works well for me - I've not found CA to be enough of an issue to need any corrections, but it's easy enough if necessary. It's nice and sharp though - right to the corners - and I like the 'look' of it - it's also got pretty good bokeh for this wide a lens.
all the best

From the sublime to the ...less sublime, I look forward to receiving the Tamron 18-200mm. I have tried the 70-300mm G A-Mount lens successfully with the Sony smaller adapter on the Nex-7 and 5n and it works fine, with autofocus (as it is an SSM lens) but its too heavy and no VR. If the quality is up to standard I would have a great travel kit along with the Zeiss and the 16mm pancake.

Hi Quentin
As a matter of interest, I use the 200-500 Tamron full frame lens and rate it highly even against the 70-400G which I also use. Like all lens ranges there are probably "dogs" (no offence to the 4 legged types folk) but they do have some nice lenses which I always considered sit nicely on the Sony Alpha 900 body. Then Phil from Australia who also posts here, visited me at home whilst on vacation over the christmas holidays and informed me that Tamron are 50% owned by Sony!

After checking out the Nex-7 attached to a Leica lens carrier (I happened to have one), I pulled the plug on the "One user" battery grip. I am hoping it will work out.

Some fun in Shoreditch, London, all with the Zeiss 24mm and Nex-7

What was the aperture for the salt shaker shot, Quentin?
They are all wicked sharp and with nice tones!

Nice shots, indeed, Bob. Great tones....I feel calmer just looking at them.

Thanks, Quentin.
One reason I asked for that was, in the OOF heptagonal highlight (even at this size), I can see vestiges of diffraction. I am still trying to understand this better. Your aperture data (effective would be ~f/4 to f/6.3 at this magnification) fits with it.

Nice ones, Bob!
Quentin and Vivek,
Thanks these were pp as a second pass...raws did not stand out at first to me.
Quentin, take a look at this site...it imparts such a sense of solitude, power and peacefulness. And the photographer has a sublime sense for development.

Does not use a NEX 7, as far as I know.

Love the link, Bob. Superb work there.
Clearly they must buy a NEX-7
Another shot with the Zeiss 24mm, taken at the London Boat Show, which I think shows, even at this reduced size, how sharp it is.
