Also it's AF is very fast so for capturing action sequences it's the best I've used.This is the link to my Sony NEX-5 photos , both digiscoping and with various lenses. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/7892550@N03/sets/72157624476752184/" target="_blank">http://www.flickr.com/photos/7892550@N03/sets/72157624476752184/</a>My objective of getting the lens was to be able to use some Zeiss glass on it.I haven't found the right Zeiss lens for it yet.I'm taking the Sony and the G1 on a digiscoping trip to the US tomorrow, with the trusty Nikon P6000 for comparison.NeilHong Kong,China.Sept 2010</blockquote>
