Attila and Teo, thanks!

I really like this little camera, especially with the fold-out LCD. I just used
enlarge for focus assist, will check about peak focusing, see if that helps.

The lens looks pretty weird on the camera, got some looks at the nursery. Smile

An LCD viewer is highly recommended, Click here to see on Ebay I am using this one and never miss any shoot due focus accuracy, I do use also peak focus+magnify.

How fast and easy is it to take that viewer off the camera? Would come in handy on sunny days, overcast, less so.

It is a metal frame kept with screw in tripod mount , you can't tilt LCD without remove it. Viewer magnetic connected so easy to put an take off , I use it all time except if need to tilt. Viewer has magnify I see LCD screen like a big TV on wall very handy to check fine details while focusing.

Attila, thanks, I'll probably get one, but I do like keeping the camera small.

IAZA, thanks!

#2 and #3 are great.

Now you need more lenses, in any mount, more adapters...
Congrats Very Happy

Hoanpham and Orio, thanks!

I have the Nikon and Exakta adapters, an M42 is on the way, and will order the Oly OM very soon.

For NX100 I have Minolta MD, M42, and Konica, been buying a few adapters, lately. Wink

Lovely Bill. I must say the Nex family is a real breakthrough for MF lens afficionados. Certainly opened up my world, so I now have a small collection of hexanons and rokkors that I could not use before.

Patrick, thanks, makes me wonder why I waited so long to get one.

Bill , I suggest to use this :
http://www.ebay.de/itm/LCD-Hood-Protector-Monitor-Blende-fur-Sony-NEX-3-NEX-5-/261099834645?pt=DE_Foto_Camcorder_LCD_Blendschutz&hash=item3ccac34d15
I use it , it's foldable so , when not opened it makes like a top over the screen. And , on top of it, allows the flip of the LCD , wich is very good .I use in sunny days without any problem , but then , I set the LCD to maximum color and briliance and I have no problem focusing (and I wear spectacles) . For critical focus , I allways use magnifier(first step) + peaking .Works pefectly allways.
The focusing aid used by Attila seems to be a good one , but it's bulky and doesn't flip , this is why I didn't bought one .
If you're very peaky about protecting gear , I'd suggest slipping a piece of paper over the screen before closing the hood , sometimes it can be slightly scratched by the folding lateral pieces of the hood , if you removed the protective foil from the LCD
The hood can be is placed or removed by simple pressure in a second .

Teo, thanks, like that you can tilt the lcd without having to remove this.

(One of the first things I did was apply a screen protector to the lcd)

Laughing I took down the one from the factory , didn't liked how the rendering with it and didn't bothered to put another one .
Flipping up is essential for me .I learned to handle the nex and now it's really fun : grab it by the lens ,focus from the upside on flipped up screen , like on a TLR .I don't understand why some can't handle comfortably the nex .For me ,it came instinctually, effeortless.
Even in these last months I messed up more with film cameras ,I like very much the nex

Rather than start a new thread, thought I'd just add to this. Drove up to Monte Sano to check
for autumn colors.

Using the Nikkor-O 2/35 lens...I know Orio has said this isn't the sharpest lens, but if you're dull
like me, even a mediocre lens will seem sharp. Laughing





There was a squadron of fairies that flew over and sprinkled sparkly fairy dust over a
lot of my pictures. I thought it was kinda cool for maybe 30 seconds, then the moment
passed. No, I haven't been drinking.

This morning I tried to take a pic of the black angus behind my place and one of them told me to p--- off. Laughing


all photos are uncropped, as seen
