173-365 - leica meets sony
cologne - 22.06.2013
I'm always talking about my holiday in the USA. Today I decided to buy a Sony NEX6 to use my Leica Summilux 35/1.4 and 50/1.4. I love this lenses but unfortunately I sold my Leica M9 a couple of month ago. I don't trust the new M till now, because of several issues with the color and the white balance... I mean I'm nuts, but I don't wanna pay about 6100€ which is 8000$ for a camera which is not 100% perfect. But I can wait and I have my flagship, the Sony RX1 and now she has a little sister, the NEX6. The NEX has some nice features, but for me it is very important to use my Summilux lenses. Also I can buy a great wide angel lens for the Grand Canyon and the Monument Vally and of course for the Cities. The NEX is a great little machine which is perfect in my hands. I also try the Lumix GF6, for which I also have lenses, but the feeling is like I shoot it at the fun fair. I don't wanna say that the GF6 has a poor output, but I don't like the materials and the quality of the body. So here we go, with a brand new NEX, a Nouvoflex adapter. I think I will have some pictures in the next day, just if you are interested how the mood is with the NEX and the Leica lenses.
