hsw Posted April 3, 2013 Share #7 Posted April 3, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) This is really outstanding. How do you find ease of focusing with the NEX and the 135 T-E? Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share #8 Posted April 3, 2013 K.-H., Ingrid, Stuart, Paul, Ece and Henry - thank you very much. I appreciate your comments very much. Unfortunately, 135mm was the longest (and only) lens I had with me and for several reasons I could not get any closer to the critter. Hence, the detail view of the face is a rather severe crop which would not stand up to any kind of magnification. Henry: I find focusing the 135mm Tele-Elmar 135 (and the 90mm Elmarit-M) very easy indeed using focus peaking with the NEX-7 (or the 5N), but only with the electronic view finder. Once you get the hang of it, you just turn the focus ring (once) until the yellow edges spring into view. As a matter of fact, this was the only shot I took of the croc. I do not think that I could have focused the same lens on the M9 at all, since there was not much light to see by and there are no nice vertical edges which are best for discerning focus with the range finder. Matters become a bit more difficult when the subject moves, of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share #9 Posted April 3, 2013 Just to illustrate the point about focusing the 135mm Tele-Elmar on the Nex: the following shot shows a bit of ground with a number of termites. I knew there were termites and I could see stalks of grass moving but I could not see one of the blessed things, neither with naked eye nor in the view finder. I just turned the focusing ring until the structure of the ground was clearly in focus as indicated by the fokus peaking and then released the shutter. It's not a frightfully interesting picture and the focus is not placed very well, but you can see any number of termites, some of them even quite sharp. The first shows the full frame, the second a 100% crop. Welcome, dear visitor!
