Some images from the Sony NEX5 in combination with a Pentacon auto 50mm f/1.8.
I'm mainly interested in flare, shooting into the sun and DOF-results and less so in MTF tables Smile

A dedicated Pentacon auto 50mm f/1.8 gallery can be found on my website.


Panorama stitched from 4 images (ISO400, 1/125s, f/16)



Flare is in the Air (ISO400, 1/125s, f/16)



My work equipment (ISO400, 1/50s, f/1.8.)



On the Road Home (ISO400, 1/80s, f/1.8.)

I like last two from this series, Pentacon 50mm f1.8 is a very cheap good lens.

Wow, the results are great. Could you tell me where did you get the adapter, please.

I've got this lens at home and I'd love to use it with the Nex-3
