NEX5n + LA-EA1 + Tokina 11-16/2.8 sample picture

I was in a shop in Kota Kinabalu and tested this lense (Tokina 11-16/2.8) and took the same test shot with the SEL1855 for comparison. 

Almost bought the lense but had a second thought as my budget for the next few month  is tight.

Guess which picture is for which lense?

NOTES: This lense Aperture and AF does not work with NEX + LA-EA1!!!

Sony NEX-5N + SAL35F18 + Reservoir Park Kuching

Sony LA-EA1 Adapter - My Opinion and Kuching Sentral Pictures

This piece of adapter was bought to satisfy my crave of having a fast lens (Lense that can have more lights through it - least how I put it in words). Honestly, the auto focus is useless, few seconds (didn't bother to count - very slow). However, I learn how to use manual so much, makes me feel that AF technology is overrated.

There are few other functions which is not possible as well, the most notable and important for me is the OSS (Optical Steady Shot). However with the 35mm, it is not an issue. With the LA-EA1 extension, it feels just right holding the lens while shooting.

Below are pictures of H&L Supermarket and Sugarbun outlet drink taken at Kuching Sentral using the LA-EA1 adapter and SAL35F18. (manual focus and manual mode).

Swiming Pool at Four Point Sheraton, Kuching

Those who have toddler would love the swimming pool. The kids pool is merely above a foot high. The main pool is slightly above 4 feet. There are free towels and shower facilities.

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Before midnight Kuching adrenalin's starts kicking, the BDC flyover grand stand is getting packed and ready for the  KUCHING CITY DRAGON CNY 2012 KICKOFF. Checkout the flyover below:

 

Just right before kickoff. Kuching city explodes with Fireworks. Visibility starts to get blurrr ( I was going to say "zero" but I did not want to exalarate). Check out how Kuching City Explodes (I think the cloud burst after 30 mins of firework stints):

This is my first clear firework with the Nex5n;


   Bravo!!!!!! KUCHINGITES!!! A marvelous display. Again , I say Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!!!!!

SAL35F18 + Sony NEX-5N + Illuminated decorated tree + Happy Chinese New Year 2012

Went out looking for some nice Chinese New Year lights, unfortunately, to my surprise, all the " tang loong" at Tua Pe Kong was not light up. So i took this picture instead.

Then, I sneaked at the front side fence of my house behind the plant and took these for all who celebrate Chinese New Year. Best wishes to all!!

NEX5N + LA-EA1 + SAL35F18 Test Picture

This is all the test picture I took before buying the SAL35F18. The Sony salesgirl was kind enough to allow me to do so. Thank You.

Even with the new lens the camera adaptor and lense te NEX5N still manage to fit in my loose side pocket.

Then immediately inside the mall I took this dragon picture! Happy Chinese New Year!!!
