Sony NEX-7
Finally: The Camera for Life
Only six years of waiting and now I have it – my dream ca-
mera, which I had described above in 2006. Neither Leica
nor Canon brought it to me, but Sony. Without the lens,
theNEX-7 weighs less than 300 g, and I can use my Contare
or Leica lenses from the sixties with it by means of an adap-
ter. Thus, unsurpassed glass teams up with unsurpassed
electronics/mechanics. I’m amazed how the ultra-sharp
print (76 x 114 cm) slowly emerges from the Epson printer
as if it came from a large format slide. More than 1700 line
pairs per picture height, and a wistful look to the D5, the
aging companion: Quo vadis amicula? And a big thank you
to Sony.
