Hi,

I just updated my Sony NEX3 to firmware version 4.

Just to share my experience:

For using old manual lenses with adapter (I own 4 Contax G lenses and a Kipon adapter) the new

Peaking function at manual focus mode is a game changer!

Manual fokusing is a breeze - better than using an exellent OVF.

I see exactly which parts of the image are in focus - clearly outlined e.g. in yellow (or red, blue, white). Manual focus assist (magnification) and depth of field control is obsolete now.

It also works in film mode.

Just increase the pixel count of existing EVFs (Panasonic GH2, Sony A55), add Peaking function, and OVF is dead - at least for me.

m43 and the new lenses (e.g. Leica 1,4/25) are very tempting, but as long as Sony has Peaking function, I think I will not change.

Regards

Lars

Yes, agreed regarding OVF. There're simply too many advantages here.

I still wish that there was a NEX with EVF. Just the display is really too limiting in outdoor situations.

And there need to be more lenses. Just three of them is ridiculous by now. Sony must really pick up speed here.
