Macro Extension Tube + NEX5N + Minolta 100 - 200 F4.5

The best cheap NEX Macro combo that I have so far. The zoom capability and the peaking help me with the manual focusing. Distances required for focusing is about 150mm. The picture below was taken handheld. Not the best macro, but for a cheap combo, I think it is worth it.

This B & W HDR was taken on a tripod and cropped to make it nicer.

The Minolta 100 - 200mm F4.5 and HVL-F20S review

The Minolta 100-200 F4.5 is a cheap alternative for a zoom lens if you have the LA-EA2 off course.  I was about 10 ft from the stage. The AF  of the LA-EA2 (what's it call..aaa..ya..Phase Detection) is fast and accurate. Took the opportunity to used it at these young talented kids concert here in Kuching recently. Well  its not a really comprehensive review, but my mark on the Minolta is 3/5 and the flash also 3/5, mind you that the max sync speed of the flash is 1/160s ( professional wise - not good, but who am I to say, I am no pro).

Sony Nex5N + SEL50F18 Autofocus

The Autofocus might not be the fastest but it should be fast enough if your subject pause for a moment, just like the soft-shell turtle subject below.

I did not expect the results would be good as I was actually looking to shoot something else outside but it rained, so I shot my friend here in the aquarium instead.

Sony NEX5N + Tokina 11-16 F2.8 + HDR

I was looking for structures theme in my stock of lousy pictures, when I stumble upon this picture taken with the Tokina. It really is sharp for HDR. I am hoping to buy the SEL1018 in the future, however it the depends on the review. Have yet to see one of those released.

Sony Nex5N + LA-EA2 + Tamron 28-75 F2.8

Check out my retro s curve and filter play. Picture are taken in the heart of Borneo where my ancestor's land is being work out by my relatives. Though the NCR land has been there and belongs to my parents and relatives, surprisingly they have no papers supporting it yet.
