Sony NEX-7 ISO 800 with 18-55mm OSS @52mm f/5 We posted earlier about our trip to Unique Photo to see the new Sony NEX-7 .

It is still a lightweight solution for a 60mm equivalent low light lens on the NEX. Here are some sample photos by zackiedawg of the NEX and the Hexanon AR 40mm at various apertures. Aperture = f/1.8 Aperture = 5.6 Crop of above Aperture = f/1.8 Aperture = f/1.8 Aperture = f/1.8 Aperture = f/8 Thanks zackiedawg!
