New meets old (LTM lenses, NEXC3)

Hello friends,

 

Just bought the latest addition to the Sony NEX line, the C3. Today I got the Novoflex adapter to try it with some of my old lenses (which was the main reason I bought the NEX). I find it really fun, focusing is easy (15xmag) and I am happy with the first results. As a bonus the camera is good in itself with a very nice kit zoom.

 

I posted it here because I really enjoy the old classic lenses but I will also link to this post from the digital forum.

 

Pictures are: Setup, 2,8cm Summaron @5.6 and 5cm Summarit @4.

I agree : the second shows really a fine combination of a brilliant modern sensor with the smoothness of an old glass.

The first, imho, shows that the venerable Summaron maybe is better to be a little stopped down... but is worth noting that the 1,5 crop makes the vignetting a non issue.

 

Post some others... :)... the Nex line has intrigued me from the start... ;)... I made just a single quick trial into a shop with my Summicron 35 asph... and not yet decided to buy one, but continue to think that is a smart concept of a camera...

Just a question... How is the LCD image when you have a non-luminous lens like the Summaron 5,6 ? Is it rather clear to have good focusing ? I wonder this because one of my sparse thoughts is to have a camera like this as a sort of "digital back" for long Telyts... :cool: (I'd need an extension tube - TZOON-like - but is easy to find)

Good question Luigi,

 

The LCD screen is self-adjustning, so it compensates when you stop down or use a lens like the 2.8 Summaron. So the screen does not get darker when you works at small apertures. In that way it is better than a "real" analog finder.

Thanks Gunnar, both interesting... and... :) update your avatar, so we both have delicious daughters on the Net, taken with an old Elmar 9...

I was this mornong in a shop with a Nex C3 on the shelf... ;)... but prefer to wait for the "first flood" of Nex 7 pics-with-Leitz-lenses, which someday surely will appear...
