Finally got my NEX-7

After much waiting and anticipation, I've finally recieved my NEX-7 (was pre-ordered December last year) and as soon as I opened the box I've attached my Nokton 35mm 1.2 V2 which is my everyday lens (this will be the camera's proverbial "body cap" as I'm not planning to take it off anytime soon). I've then decided to go to the local japanese festival to take some test shots, unfortunately I got caught up with "other" activities and didn't get to take any photos at all. I'll post some test shots when I get the chance to take some. This is what my current set up looks like



My NEX-5 will probably be on loan to my good friend who has all but given up on his D3100. He's looking for a smaller camera and will be giving the NEX a try to see if it suits him or if he should go Micro 4/3's.

 

Thanks guys, I'm planning to shoot b&w mostly as I always have, however I might be shooting more colour now as well as the tri-navi UI system really makes changing modes and settings so easy, I will probably even go as far as stating that when I finished setting up the buttons to my liking, it is the most intuitive camera I have ever used.

I might go back to post processing images next year, and get myself familiar with Silver efex, etc.. I kinda promised to myself that I would not apply any pp to any of my shots this year.

 

Cheers mate, I'm really loving the combo, the Nokton feels a bit front heavy and unbalanced when I was using it with the NEX-5 especially since the body is quite small and I have to hold the camera away from my face to focus. The combination of the evf, body size and weight makes the set up balanced and quite easy to shoot  

 

Yup, I really love this lens and I've really given it a good work out the past month, It's what I've used for the for the Singles in January challenge in Serious Compacts, Ive shot Portraits, Landscapes, low light (a lot), candids, architecture, etc.. with it and it did not disappoint.

 

Thanks dude, I very nearly cancelled when the Fuji X Pro 1 was announced, but after I had a closer look at the specs I decided to continue with the NEX-7.

 

Lmao!!   Thanks buddy

@Dioptrick - Yeah likewise, the 5 has the same slits as well and I had a hard time looking for a wrist strap I wanted. I found what I'm using now from eBay and really liked it, it works for both the 5 and the 7.
