I too come from micro 4/3 and prefer the nex 5n quite a lot more, esp. with the nice lenses coming now (50mm sony, sigma 19 & 30mm, ...) and the GREAT iso performance

Thanks Wolf, I will go out today and give the new NEX and the kitlens a bit of a try.. I am thinking maybe that will actually make a nice combo for when I just want to travel light and take the one lens. Most of my pictures are within that particular FOV anyway (from light wide-angle to light tele), and I am sure it will beat the PEN plus Kitlens in that respect, as they are about the same as far as specs go, but of course I can benefit from the Sony sensor. I could keep my PEN kit for when I don't mind taking some more equipment, the NEX line up does miss something there at the moment (like my favorite UWA 9-18 or light and small telezooms).

Anyway, hope to post some first NEX images soon...:)

Welcome, those pictures make for a great introduction!

Love your images, they are really powerful & gritty and are a great way to introduce yourself to the forum.

Welcome

Welcome here Pim, please take a seat aboard.

Great shooting. Welcome! I love your wide angle shots...

Pim, welcome!

Your third and fifth images are my two favorites - very otherworldly and a bit reminiscent of Close Encounters of the Third Kind...or maybe that's because I caught a few minutes of that movie last night? Either way, they're very powerful and intense - which I like.

I love your pictures.

I bought the kit lens fairly recently from another forum member and I've barely had it off the camera since. That said I still play with a lot of Canon FD glass when I want to do things manually rather than using the 18-55. I did a night shoot which the kit lens just couldn't cope with but the FD was magnificent and allowed me to concentrate on the shot, not the camera.

Look forward to seeing more of your stuff

Wow !! they are some great black and white images !

Hey everybody.....play around with scrolling screen and stare at the first image. It looks like the ferris wheel is spinning. I'm gonna try this again tonight after a couple beers.
btw, welcome!

Welcome from Chicagoland Pim. Really like your work!!!!
