[Klaus]

Dear Zoners,

 

since there are interesting discussions going on regarding the NEX system I start another thread here.

 

I think that theoretically the NEX system could be the most interesting for people looking for a small form factor and very high quality. Recently I found interesting postings at the blog http://diglloyd.com e.g. on April 26th.

 

The main drawbacks at the moment are mediocre lenses (quality, selection, build quality) and the problems in the corners with the wide angles on the 24 MP sensor of the NEX7. 

 

I hope with the availability of the new Zeiss 12mm and the other Zeiss and Sony Zeiss lenses, the lack of high quality lenses will come to an end. Ideally future testing will show the real potential of the system hopefully with an improved sensor of the NEX7n (improved micro lenses?)

 

If not than the distance from the lens to the sensor is just too short for high quality pictures outside the central part  of wide angle shots with the NEX system. As a result I have to stick to m43 or DLSR.

 

Or wait for Nikon or Leica half format mirror less system...

 

 

Would love to see the "critical" view of Klaus in this regard. Somehow I believe that the "love-hate" of Klaus is based on the high expectation and the disappointment in reality.

 

What do you, dear Zoners, expect and wish to see in future?

 

Cheers

 

Andreas

 

Well, some of the lenses are promising for sure. The Sony 50/1.8, 35/1.8 and 10-18/4 are decent. No doubts regarding the Zeiss lenses.

Sony is working on the G standard zoom lens and, eventually, we'll see the G tele zoom lens for sure.

 

The problem is, however, that Fuji is pressing all the right buttons lately so you may argue why to bother anyway. Especially because the upcoming Zeiss primes will be available for Fuji as well.

 

MFT is smaller, yes, but for most users it is sufficient. The IQ delivered from the OM-D and GH3 is outstanding and once the Pana 42.5/1.2 is here, the only missing things are pro grade long teles.

 

That all said, neither Fuji or the MFT gang can match Sony in terms of marketing.
