Very nice! I really liked the first one. The colour of the sky adds to the contrast. The low light handling of the nex is just superb.

Hello , thank you guys for your kind words. Tobias, it's the 2.8 MC version. Very soft wide open it improves visibly after f4 ,but really good after 8 or even 11. I had it dismantled by accident but managed to put it back with the little help of my friends here Laughing . Not perfectly , because the infinitymark is not properly set ,but it works. I like the colors , it has some particular mark .And this 30mm focal(efective on NEX) isn't bad , close to the classic 28mm on film . I feel that I use it too seldom.

Beautiful.

I had 2 of these lenses and sold them. And I still don't know why I did that. Great lens and nice form factor.
Cherish it !

Seems to be a good combo which could be recommended for other users too. Like the first one of your second set (sundial) best. Great captured.

I have tried my Flek 4/20 on my NEXes. And although I liked the results, the lens is too big to be comfortably used on a NEX IMHO.

Is that not a problem with all type of these lenses ?

Since the Sigma 19mm for around 200 € is available for NEX/m43 I would indeed never try a MF lens at that focal length.

Olympus OM 21mm filter size is 49mm only, Konica 21mm f2.8 55mm I also sold my Flek 20mm MC due it's diameter is large to me.

More or less , yes.Not about diameter only ,but also about lenght ,the adapter + lens almost allways gives an unbalanced combo . In my experience hexanon 40/1.8 and rokkor 45/2 are giving a smaller and balanced combination (but sadly not on the wide focal side) Another combination acceptable would be the 24/2.8 Zuiko + adapter + nex . Unfortunately I don't own this lens (in fact ,no olympus lens until now).
The new Sigma seems a good solution.
In fact ,I am seeking a compact AF solution better than Canon G9 , maybe I'll go for these Sigmas ( Sony 18-55 is too big , unbalanced and not cheap for a kit lens ;on the other side seems quite a good lens ,and stabilised)
