Sony Alpha NEX-5 sample movie – indoor handheld from Gordon Laing (Cameralabs) on Vimeo.

Cameralabs is one of my preferred websites and they just published the new Sony Alpha NEX-3 / NEX-5 review (click here). The first line of their conclusions says: “The Sony Alpha NEX-5 is one of the most impressive, exciting and enjoyable cameras we’ve used for a long time.” :)

One more NEX news: David Kilpatrick tested the NEX-5 live sound (Click here to read the article at Photoclubalpha)

As you know SLRmagic launched a new [shoplink 3514]35mm f/1.7 lens with E-mount[/shoplink]. This lens works without adapter and has been designed for NEX cameras. Cris (from Australis) posted some image samples inside the dpreview forum: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1042&thread=36262990

The lens does cost less than $100 [shoplink 3514]on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink]!

Imagine how it would be to use a [shoplink 3874]$6,550.00 lens[/shoplink] on you NEX camera! Yes such an expensive lens does really exist and of course it is a Leica ;)

Darren Chan posted some image samples on flickr taken with the NEX-5 and the Noctilux. Some other image samples have been also posted on SonyAlphaNex. That’s almost all you can find on the web, not many user are going to buy that lens to use it on the Sony camera! Check out the [shoplink 3874]Noctilux auctions on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink] to see how much that lens costs. If you need a very fast lens for your camera I suggest you to wait for our next post where we will show you “cheaper” alternatives!

P.S.: You can use Leica lenses only [shoplink 3491]via M-mount to E-mount adapter[/shoplink]
