Sony NEX7 with Zeiss M-mount 18mm ZM

This is the test I'm most interested in. How does the NEX7 look with my M-mount Zeiss lenses.


I thought I would try the Sony NEX7 with every lens I had.

I'm not drawing any conclusions, just posting the images for you to enjoy.

The camera was the latest pre-production version which I just picked up this week.

The ISO was set to 100.

Camera on a man's size tripod.

Self-timer so I didn't jerk anything.

Everything was done on manual focus... used the scene enlarger to focus the best I could.

Aperture priority.

AWB.

This is the Zeiss M-mount 18mm ZM at f8.


This is the Zeiss M-mount 18mm ZM at f4.

  3. Hi Rob,

    To add to the previous post.
    I am impatiently awaiting the arrival in two days of my nex-7 body. I have been looking up info regarding possible issues using wide angle rangefinder lenses on the nex-7. Something to do with the rear element being to close to the sensor. Did your tests on 18mm and 21mm show any issues, magenta colour casts etc.

    Kind regards
    glen

  4. I thought it worked fine with the wide angles although others seem to find issues with the fringing. Plus my camera was pre-production which seems to make a difference.
