Sony NEX-7 + Sony 24mm ƒ/1.8 Sonnar — “Bad Sample” Documented

Just published in Making Sharp Images is a new case study of the Sony NEX-7 + Sony 24mm ƒ/1.8 Sonnar, showing the severe left-edge blur problem noted in the previous Black Mtn Radio Towers example. I repeated the results on the Sony NEX-5N to prove that it is not a camera issue; it is a lens issue, and highly instructive. And I actually went back and re-shot several more times to confirm it.

The case study is also published in DAP in my review of the Sony NEX-7.

Thanks to B&H Photo for making the Sony NEX-7 and Sony NEX-7 and Sony lenses available for testing— see my gear pages for handy buying links with in-stock status.
