... but I'm trying to understand number 2. The Nex allows one to place the lens at the registration distance it was designed to be used at. So why would there be a problem with corner performance, unless the lens already had a problem with it to begin with?


The bigger the sensor, the flatter the angle in which the light shines on the surface.
The flatter the angle, the more it deteriorates image quality.



If the register distance is rather long, this effect is not as visible as with a shorter one - and the NEX has a very shot register distance.

That means, I think, that lenses like 35mm Jupiter for RF would not be succesfully applicable. But a 35mm or 28mm Rokkor can hardly be seen like that. Sensor - lens distance is not that short!

Nice pictures and lovely portrait anyhow.

Thanks for the explanation. Hrm . . . all the more reason for me to continue shooting slides with my old 35mm cameras. Cool

I think it does a great job. Seems like a really nice camera.

That's perfectly right!
Some NEX-7 users have reported about a colour cast in the corners when using wide angle RF lenses (below 24mm). I cannot tell if that is right, because I do not one of those. But on Jan 4 I'm going to meet a friend who owns (and brings) a Zeiss 2.8/21 ZM.
With SLR wide angle lenses such as the CZJ Flek 4/20 this colour cast does not exist. (OK, I still have to really test it and try to provoke it, but I have not seen it so far.) That'S becaue the adapter adjusts the register distance to that of the lens.

Lovely set Carsten.

Are we reaching the point with these digital cameras where the IQ is a diminishing issue and the character becomes all?

I think so, Patrick. Thers is not much difference in IQ if I shoot with my 40D, 5D, NEX-3, NEX-7 or even the Sigma DP1s.
Nowadays, it's rather the handling and "feel" of a camera that distinguishes cameras.

much agreed! I bought a NEX5N not looking for better IQ than that of my Pentax K-x but obviously because of the difference of shooting experience with the small and light body, the manual focus aids, LCD and EVF..

Excellent results, Carsten, love the smooth bokeh in these, the colors.

I love the first one the best. Autumnal brown colours and you can almost feel the texture of the leaves Cool
