Steve Huff posted the “SLR Magic 35 1.7 Lens review on the Sony NEX-5“:”I have to give applause for someone releasing a small fast lens for these small mirror-less cameras. Even though it is not a super sharp Leica lens, this little 35 1.7 is a great buy for [shoplink 3514]$99 (on eBay[/shoplink]). PERIOD! It may not be a lens you will use all of the time, but when you do use it be prepared for some interesting images.” The SLR magic is a native manual focusing E-mount lens, no need to buy an adapter!

Pocket Link posted a new short Sony A55 review: “There’s still some room for improvement, so we wait with baited breath as to just how good the next generation of cameras will be. But for now the [shoplink 3617]Sony A55[/shoplink] rules the roost and it really is the pinnacle of new age digital cameras. ”

I think what Steve referred is the lens that I previously posted for m43. It is an c-mount CCTV lens with a larger image circle. Actually the lens was made in Fujian, China. the retail price of it is about US$15. But the piece that posted should include an adapter, lens hood, gift box and so forth. I think the lens is great, just need to make sure you got a lens hood.

Huff needs to learn the proper terminology e.g. bokeh and min focus distance. Also ” you need to own it just because” sounds like a little kid demanding ice cream on a bus.
the lens is a no brainer to buy, lots of fun to use and gives interesting results.. be aware though that you get what you pay for, mine repeatedly fell apart in several areas, the screws and lens fittings unfastened during useage. if you can handle that, i can recommend it
Nice porno music 😀
