As an FYI, most my photography lives on Google+ after the unfortunate experience of being burned by Fotki last year. I've found your blog and webpage. Cameras and typewriters go together like chocolate and peanut butter.

With focus peaking, I see in focus zones highlighted on the back screen or through the electronic viewfinder. There is a handy button to zoom in instantly for a tighter look at focus areas. I can park that on an eye, but that isn't quite as quick as a Canon 30-60D focus point. I also see a live brightness histogram making it easy to adjust shutter speed and exposure compensation. I've barely touched my 60D and fleet of EF glass since getting the NEX-6.<br /><br />Not-so-dreamy... the menus are non-intuitive with common functions buried. The diminutive size has ergonomic tradeoffs. Kit glass is a mixed bag as would be expected and it does not have sensor based vibration control like Panasonic and Olympus.<br /><br />But the camera is simply a tool. Ideally, it helps free the user up to work on composition. We're living in a Moore's Law fantasy world where magic technology drops from the sky.Dwayne F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07032059161503386028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897251519490477449.post-64266981096267197432013-09-11T09:03:35.853-05:002013-09-11T09:03:35.853-05:00Excellent focus and composition!

I absolutely love the color and contrast of this old school Pentax lens and the Lens Turbo just adds to the goodness.<br /><br />My first batch of photos with this combination is peppered through my Google+ stream from the Greaserama car show.Dwayne F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07032059161503386028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897251519490477449.post-75624693139789850722013-09-10T23:25:47.960-05:002013-09-10T23:25:47.960-05:00Great shots!

Lots of bokeh effect in those two. <br />Great work.teeritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421337385763144173noreply@blogger.com
