This is the last of the FA 43 f1.9 images for now, but I think I'll be using this a lot more when the weather gets a little better. It was ok on the Nex-5N and something that you can carry around all day without tiring out. The Nex-5N is really small and I don't think I want to use anything smaller and I never will. A little weight in the hand does seem to stabilize my hand and blurry images aren't really a problem. Of course using a tripod is always a better method, but not something you want to do when out on a stroll...especially when you not alone.

03/01/13  Sony Nex-5N mounting an adapted Pentax FA 43 f1.91172
NEX-5N Focal Length: unknown Aperture: f/1.0 Exposure Time: 1/60 sec ISO: 1000 • Sony • Pentax • FA 43 f1.9
02/28/13  Sony Nex-5N mounting an adapted Pentax FA 43 f1.9Since the weather was agin miserable and the sky a dull gray I kept looking down for some subjects. Setting the camera to auto-ISO and just selection an aperture appropriate for these subjects I could get some acceptable shutter speeds so hand holding wasn't really a problem. 1162

02/27/13  Sony Nex-5N mounting an adapted Pentax FA 43 f1.9I like trees and I like taking photos of tree bark. Sounds strange maybe but you'll never get the same image twice. They will all be quite unique.
I should have stopped down anothe stop or two here as the top right isn't quite in focus. I sometimes forget that these lenses give a diference fild of view when mounted o theses APS-C cameras and you have to stop down a little more. This was taken at f4 and I really should have been at around f8.
Some day, I'll eventually get used to it...I hope. 1156
NEX-5N Focal Length: unknown Aperture: f/1.0 Exposure Time: 1/40 sec ISO: 200 • Sony • Pentax • FA 43 f1.9
02/26/13  Sony Nex-5N mounting an adapted Pentax FA 43 f1.9The lens is quite small and not front heavy at all on the Nex-5N.
I think I'll try the FA 31 f1.8 next time out. A beautiful lens and one of the best ever made by any manufacturer. But, it is a lot longer than the 43 f1.9 and weighs nearly double, so it might be a better idea to put it on the Nex7 because it's bigger and I can grip it better. I should also think that there will be a lot of difference in image rendition between the two cameras. Alright, I'll have to test it on both. 1090
NEX-5N Focal Length: unknown Aperture: f/1.0 Exposure Time: 1/125 sec ISO: 200 • Sony • Pentax • FA 43 f1.9
02/25/13  Sony Nex-5N mounting an adapted Pentax FA 43 f1.9I don't care what people say about Pentax, but their lenses are some of the best ever produced especiially the FA Limited lenses. I used the 43 f1.9 lens on this occasion and it really is a nice lens. Sharp with good rendition. Colour is accurate and manual focusing on the Nex system is very easy.
Here, the green moss on the stump cought my eye. A clump of green among a drab winter brown.
After a lot of rain in the last few weeks the moss is really a bright green, it sometimes hurts my eyes just to look at it. It's near fluoresence in colour. 1118

12/11/11  Pentax SMC FA 43 f1.9There are some great lenses out there to use on these CSC systems. I agree that soem are not that cheap but this lens was bought some time ago and really didn't cost me that much. I think I could sell it today for much more than I bought it for. However, that is not the reason I have it. I get a lot of pleasure from my photographic equipment.
If you look at the image notice that there are a lot of trees in it but, only three really matter. Those are the three in the foreground. Try so see things in threes, three trees, three people, three buildings, it doesn't really matter. What's important is that you have three and only three of the same in the image. I believe it makes the composition much stronger. 1293
NEX-5N Focal Length: unknown Aperture: f/1.0 Exposure Time: 1/250 sec ISO: 100 11/22/11  Voigtlaender Color Skopar 35 f2.5This is the Skopar agin at an aperture of aroun f4 or f5.6. That is one problem I find using these manual focus lenses on either a NEX or m4/3 cameras, either you remember which aperture you take every picture with or...well just forget it. I normally shoot wide open with these lenses but at times I just like to close the lens down and get everything in sharp focus. Here I just needed a couple of these leaves in focus. I was quite near the subject when I took this. 1783

11/21/11  Voigtlaender Color Skopar 35 f2.5I must say I love the quality of these lenses and the way reproduce the colour and the rendition in general. Doesn't look digital at all and is a real pleasure to look at. The Skopar 35 f2.5 is very well built and is tiny. Great on either the NEX or m4/3 cameras. You just have to get used to the handling. Very different from a normal DSLR. 1803

11/20/11  Pentax FA 43 f1.9 on Nex-5NVery nice rendition in this image from the Pentax lens. I also have the FA 31 f1.8 which I will have to test. I missed a lot of images using it on the m4/3 cameras because of the difficulty in focusing at f1.8. 2000

11/19/11  Pentax FA 43 f1.9 on Nex-5NI never got around to using this much on a digital Pentax camera. Maybe it was much better on film but it's very nice on the Nex-5N. I must use this a lot more in the coming weeks, especially nice at f1.9. 2123
