Advertisement Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Hi Mark2007, Take a look here the budjet limit....elmarit m 90+sony Nex3 vs. m8. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stunsworth Posted July 1, 2011 Share #2 Posted July 1, 2011 Buy the M8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchoIankov Posted July 1, 2011 Share #3 Posted July 1, 2011 I have used my 90mm (from M8) on wife's Olympus EP1. Manual focus is not fast/easy, virtually impossible to focus on moving subjects. DoF at 2.8 is very limited and exact focus is essential (below 30-40 m). Used in higher F is not simple because the aperture is manual (less light hits the sensor). It is no use for macro because of 1m nearest focus distance on the lens. When on focus images are great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan States Posted July 2, 2011 Share #4 Posted July 2, 2011 Buy the M8. The NEX is no substitute and the handling with manual lenses sucks unless you are the type who likes to jump through hoops to make a point. I haven't used my NEX is months....If they made an EFV they would have a chance, but they don't, so they don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramosa Posted July 2, 2011 Share #5 Posted July 2, 2011 M8. No question. It's a great camera, and I would way rather have a rangefinder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybob Posted July 2, 2011 Share #6 Posted July 2, 2011 I use M lenses with an adapter on the Sony NEX 5 with one of these attatched. The hoodman loupe is essential for shooting with the 50 and the 90, not so much for the 25 or 35. It also makes the NEX handle much more like a camera for my taste than arm length composing and focusing using the screen. It takes some getting used to, and I've made about 7500 exposures on mine since March and am very comfortable with it now. I strictly shoot on aperture priority, and control exposure with the +/- wheel on the back. The only problems that I've had with this approach is that you're buried in the eyecup when you shoot with this camera, EVERY adjustment has to be made with your eye to the loupe. It's bulkier than you would expect and it draws quite a bit of attention to itself. With the 25 (and the 35 to some extent) the hood is more of a pain than its worth. The large size 14+MP sensor is pretty decent, allowing you to turn it up to 12800 ISO, (200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, 12800 and AUTO) but for all practical purposes, I've found that image quality is just about maxed out at 3200. I've pulled more out of higher ISO test images using LR3, but when noise reduction is applied they all start to look very smoothed over and unnatural in my opinion. The lower the ISO, the better. Spring for the expensive lens mount adapter, its worth it. Cheap is cheap and you get what you pay for. I would hold off on the 90 for now, that 50 of yours will turn into a 75 on both the NEX and the M8 with the crop factor. It's sort of like getting a new lens. Oh, and you can shoot something called high definition video with it. Personally I don't use that feature, but I know some people need that...
