Sony NEX-7 with Zeiss 24mm f/1.8 Sonnar Lens


Luminous Landscapes was lucky enough to be invited to test out a pre-production model of the Sony NEX-7 with firmware V0.6. They had access to the new Sony NEX lenses and the new LA-EA2 lens adapter with Sony Alpha lenses.

Here are a few excerpts we found interesting:
  • the NEX-7's user interface moves up (compared to the original NEX-3 and NEX-5) to a very high level of functionality
  • built-in pop-up electronic flash that doubles as a wireless trigger for external flash units
  • could make about a 20X30" print without any ressing up needed
  • would appear to have a very week anti-aliasing filter
  • Zeiss 24mm f/1.8 Lens: has the build and optical quality to justify its price
  • major players are going to have to up their game if they want to hold on to their market share


It looks like they like the NEX-7. Read the full Luminous Landscape's Sony NEX-7 First Impression article.

We can't wait to get our hands on a NEX-7 after reading that.
