hey mike24p when the video first starts what type of sony lens is the on the camera the black one when it first starts.

[mike24p]

@Micksproduction Sony 50mm 1.4 and LA EA2 adapter

[yadamon]

@mike24p you meant LA-EA1?

[mike24p]

@yadamon yes, sorry, this is the old version the la ea1

[mike24p]

@Micksproduction yep, but I would wait for the nex 50mm 1.8

Ummm. Nice video but, Sony do make a pancake lens.

[mike24p]

@Dabnabbit1991 but only a 16mm for now, possibly next year we will get a 30mm

Nice video! Good price for the lense. I have the 18-55 lense. I was just wondering what is the benefit of Industar 69 lense over the Sony 18-55? Compact size is one.

@Dabnabbit1991 He didn't say they lacked a pancake lens. He said they are lacking a standard(meaning ~50mm focal length) pancake lens.

@MobiusCoin Indeed, seems like the lens isn't quite far back enough even after screwing the middle part all the way in.

@mike24p Thank you sir. Is it pretty good lens for the nex 5

@perspeeks The fix doesn't work for m43? Awww... that's disappointing.
