Tree at night -- NEX-5 & Pentax-M 20mm f4. Click to see larger.
One quirky think about the NEX-5 is its tripod mount. Instead of a flat bottom like every other camera ever existed, the tripod mount on the NEX-5 has a raised center, which makes it almost impossible to put an Arca Swiss quick release plate on. This is not a problem for small and light weight lenses, but for large lenses without tripod mounts, the NEX-5 becomes very unstable. Without a custom made plate, this annoyance will continues to bother me to no end whenever I need to do any night shots.
annoying ... given the camera size what about tripod mount on the adaptor?
ReplyDeleteI have not tried the adapters with tripod mounts, as they tend to be quite a bit more expensive. I have shied away from using long lenses.
ReplyDeleteget a monster pod to rest the base on.
