Publicado: Vie Sep 09, 2011 7:49 pmUn usuario habitual de telemétricas reporta lo contento que está enfocando en manual con la NEX-5 y objetivos Leica. Compara la experiencia con la que tiene su M6, y dice que la NEX le gusta más que ninguna de sus otras 14 cámaras. Comenta que le gusta mucho usar el hoodman:
Focussing accuracy with NEX-5 and Leica lenses
"I have been using a NEX-5 with hoodman viewing and various Leica lenses including 35mm Summicron, 28mm Elamrit, 50 mm Elmar and 400 mm Telyt. All have to be manually focussed. The longer the lens the easier it is to get dead on focussing. The hoodman keeps out the light and the screen detail is amazing, much better than viewing through the optical viewer on my Leica M6. Focussing using the tools that Sony has added - zoom in to 7x and 14 x level, plus the peaking level indicator allows for very accurate focus. You can for instance focus on an eye, or on the edge of a spectacle frame -which is within 1/2 an inch. DOF is very narrow with a 70mm lens, something you don't realize when using autofocus on most cameras.
To compensate for the characteristics of these lenses (the 28mm is too sharp and contrasty for many subjects, and the 50 year old Elmar is too soft for anything but portraits, but it is sharp as a tack - just low contrast) I set the image mode choices (vivid, landscape, portrait, standard etc.) one for each lens. Each choice can be customized for contrast saturation and sharpness. SO its easy to preset "vivid" with +1 contrast and +1 sharpness for the old ELmar lens to brighten the image up, ot to set Standard with -1 contrast and -1 sharpness for the Elmarit 28mm to soften its images.
With the latest firmware the adjustments are quick and easy. Everything can be adjusted with the eye up to the viewing hood, with exposure and focussing under the left finger and right thumb.
Image quality with the Leica lenses is so good I don't use the Sony kit lenses at all.
The experience with this combo is close to that of my M6.
When the NEX-7 is in production the NEX-5 will go to my wife.
By the way, I have 14 other Digital cameras including D70, LC10, Digilux 1, Panasonics of all kinds, Fuji S100fs, Canon digicams, Nikon digicams - this NEX-5 is a much better camera with the Leica lenses. I have spent a weekend with an M8, and it wasn't so exciting as I expected - I think the controls on the NEX-5 are better, the focussing certainly is."
