Many pages updated.
I’ve fully updated the ‘Recommended accessories‘ and ‘Recommended cameras and lenses‘ pages. Again, the products on these pages aren’t on my ‘wish list’ or stuff I think is neat; they’re what I use daily for work, or for adding to this website. All of the products listed I own, or have owned in…Blog
2012.9
Canon has brilliantly achieved what Sony tried so hard to do in 2005 with the R1, and that is to make a large sensor, fixed lens camera that provides the same image quality of a DSLR, at the same price point or less. However, Canon had a design constraint that Sony never had to deal with;…

Sony NEX Fisheye converter review
The Sony VCL-ECF1 is a cool little add-on lens for people wanting a fisheye experience using the Sony NEX system. While this converter is not an optical masterpiece, it actually works well, and can be very fun if you knowhow to use it. It’s not for ‘getting it all in’ in a general sense,…

Sony NEX VCL-ECU1 ultra wide converter 0.75x review
Sony designed the NEX 16mm pancake lens to be used with a couple of different converters, one of which is the ultra wide angle 0.75x. This converter gives you the same coverage as 12mm, or 18mm in full frame (135 film) format; that’s pretty wide!

Unfortunately, Sony’s hot streak has come to an abrupt end with the new 30mm F/3.5 macro lens. It’s…
2012.5
The Sony NEX 50mm F/1.8 OSS lens is a welcome addition to the NEX family, producing sharp images with good contrast at nearly all apertures, very smooth bokeh, and almost no distortion. While there isn’t really much to dislike about the lens, there are a few qualities I’d like to see improved. One, the reproduction…

The NEX-7 turned in a great performance, especially when using high quality lenses, like the just reviewed CZ 24/1.8. With that combo, the resolution is almost unbelievable! Check out the review, and make sure you read the bottom part; that’s where all the good info is; the rest is basically an owner’s manual quick-start guide.

Sony NEX 55-210mm F/4.5-6.3 review
The Sony NEX 55-210mm F/4.5-6.3 OSS telephoto zoom lens is relatively inexpensive, and provides image stabilization, super quiet focusing, along with a nice build quality. Considering the price point of this lens, the optical performance is generally strong throughout the focal range, especially at the long end, which is probably where most people will be …
