NEX-F3 + NIKKOR 180 mm ED 1:2.8 - bokeh

Day two with NEX-F3 and so far so good. Performance and image quality is good to excellent.
I tried it with MF Nikkor 180 lens and it worked well. It was easy to focus even when the lens was wide opened.

Sony NEX-F3 with Legacy Lenses (first impression)

I didn’t have much time to play with NEX-F3, I had only about one hour today to check if new Sony camera works with adapters and manual focus lenses. And then the battery asked for refill. I didn’t really check the camera or the kit lens for their performance and so I have no clue about burst rate, high ISO, etc.  I messed up settings several times while shooting, so don't judge the camera just by my pictures:) I need to spent some time with it to learn.
My first impression is good,  camera works well in both AF (with kit lens) and MF (with legacy glass) modes and images are excellent. Everything was shot in RAW @ 200 ISO, pp'ed in Lr 4.1

Billingham Hadley Pro Camera Bag

I was looking for a new bag for my trip to Italy. A compact, durable bag to carry DSLR with couple lenses, tickets, passports, iPad, etc. The bag that I can easy take on the airplane, train or subway. The bag that can withstand museum crowds, bad weather, protect the gear and is not standing in my way when I am taking pictures. I know, a lot of other bags can do this trick, but Billingham Hadley Pro caught my eye.
