Leica 28mm f/2 Summicron-M ASPH

Examples: Leica 28/2 (Beach, NEX-7)

Examples on this page were all shot with the Leica 28mm f/2 Summicron-M ASPH, using a Novoflex lens adapter for Sony NEX on the Sony NEX-7— see the full review of the Sony NEX-7 in DAP.

I focused using the NEX-7 zoom-in Live View feature, which allowed very precise focus for the non-moving subjects. What a HUGE ADVANTAGE over trying to focus the Leica M9 in dim light.

The selection of images on this page represent the classic photography of capturing the moment. In this respect, the Sony NEX-7 is superlative and I really enjoyed the experience of shooting with it here on the beach using manual focus and manual exposure and focusing entirely on the scene, not worrying too much about exact focus or “correct” exposures. Its shutter lag is comparable to the M9 in terms of being able to get the shot.
