Knuckledragger

For the NEX-5N or NEX-5 users: I tried one of each today, but found that my fingers are maybe longer than the designers had anticipated. The grip seems a little shallow and the shutter button hits just inside my first knuckle. I suppose I could get used to it. Anyone with long fingers used this regularly? The 5N with the touch screen is super fast and easy to used. Damn.

Remote, eh? I'll have to look in to that. Thanks, crappy.

Maybe I just need to adjust my grip. Or hold it from the bottom like a bigboy camera. Or maybe that salesman was making me fucking nuts with

his incessant yapping. I'll have to play with it somewhere else.

No worries: it looks like the kit version of the 5N won't be available for a bit anyway. That dealer can't keep them in and the supply is fooked from the Thailand flooding (or so he said...). I think the wait might be worth it since I would imagine the next batch should have the video clicking firmware built in.

the remote was just a joke but hey if it helps you then why not. it is only 10 bucks and supposedly works quite well. give it a try. if it doesnt work for you, send it back to amazon.

there are a bunch of kits and bodies on sale over at fm...

i have a little strange little set up with my nex 5. lets see if i can find any pictures of it. oddly enough it forces my left hand to hold the camera in a way which is rather comfortable.

I'll need to add this to the mindless consumerism thread as well. This Santa season has been especially busy (actually making some money), so I bought myself a 100mm macro lens. Been meaning to do so for some time, and there are instant rebates going on now with B&H: http://www.bhphotovi...2_8L_Macro.html

Anyone know about a sigma sa7n camera? Looks to be in pretty good condition. Comes with 28-80 and 70-300 lenses. Sigma mount. Lenses are in pretty good condition. $110?

Want something decent and cheap to play with film. Something with decent resale value would be nice in case it doesn't go too well.

I usually refer to KEH.com when wondering about prices.
