Well, I’m back after a rough few weeks.  As I said in my temporary page, which unfortunately most people didn’t see, I’m having some trouble with the website.  Apparently, I was told, I introduced some bad Javascript, (I don’t think so) and messed up the sitebuilder platform for this website.  The problem was beyond my ability to fix, so …

The NEX camera review page is up and running.  I’ll be adding to it over the next couple of weeks, so check back every few days for new information. So far I’ve done some comparisons between the NEX-5 and A700, like ISO and kit lens sharpness differences, and checking out the differences in general image quality.  Based on my

Sony gives a (sort of) firm date on the release of the new e-mount lens.  The 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 image stabilized lens will be available in September for a retail price of $799.  That’s pricey, and much more than the current A-mount lens.  I might also add, the new e-mount 18-200mm is substantially heavier and a little larger than the…

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been working up the full reviews of both NEX lenses, along with some general observations about the camera system so far.  Listed below in no particular order are some things I’ve noticed as I use the cameras.  Both the NEX-5 and NEX-3 have the same image quality, so I’ll only differentiate between …

Sony re-introduces the Carl Zeiss 24mm F/2, and lifts the veil on a couple new additions to the Sony lens lineup, the 85mm F/2.8 (weird combo) with plastic mount, and the 35mm F/1.8 (Nikon inspired) also with a plastic mount.  The two lenses are known as “easy choice” lenses, I suppose because they’re cheap!  I’ll estimate the US price …

Check out the survey results below.  The percentages for each lens at first glance appear too high, but includes the three lens choices that were possible for each person taking the survey.  Clearly the Tamron 70-200mm F/2.8 is the most popular lens in the survey, and will get a concise review, along with the Sigma equivalent (and the teleconverters) …

Thanks to all of you that spent time taking my survey.  I’ll post the results later this week.  I received so many written comments it’ll take me a couple of days to read them all.  I realize I forgot a couple of interesting lenses to include, like the Sigma 50mm F/1.4 HSM, and new Sigma 85mm F/1.4 etc.

I…

Take new survey, now closed!

This survey was closed by accident for a couple of hours right after I opened it, everything is ok now, and you can take the survey.

Since I’m pretty much out of lenses to review at the moment, I’m putting up a survey to see what lenses people are most interested in, and …
