Disney Vacation, Nex-6, 55-210mm lens – The Animal Kingdom

Posted  May 17, 2013  by  Jay

For this series of Photos from out Disney Family Vacation, I used my Nex-6 and the 55-210mm E-Mount Lens.

New Sony Gear on the Way – Nex-3n, SEL20F28, and SELP18200 Lenses!!

Posted  May 4, 2013  by  Jay

New Sony gear on the way to the lab, including the Sony Nex-3n, the Sony 20mm f/2.8 Lens(sel20f28), and the 18-200mm Powerzoom lens (selp18200)!! I’m really looking forward to trying out the 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 PZ OSS lens in particular, because it has multiple zoom speed options, and the optical design looks like it’s based on the original SEL18200, as apposed to the newer, smaller [...]
