Show me your NEX beside your M

[cosmonaut]

Would someone who owns both please show me a side by side of your M, M6 if you have one along side your NEX 3/5 so I can compare sizes? Also since the firmware upgrade it is easier to shoot manual.

Don't have an M6, but do have an M2 (collecting dust). Both cameras are sporting circa WW2 CZJ 5cm/1.5 in LTM. Kinda crappy pics, but just quick grab shots from my desk. Yeah, the firmware update makes the camera a lot easier to use.

Thanks. Is the Nex hard to focus without a finder?

No, focusing is easy using the 7X and 14X magnifications available from one of the buttons located to the right of the monitor. Much easier to get spot- on focus wide open at f 1.5 than with a traditional rangefinder.

Yeah, the M2 is a complete beast

the question reminds me of something Barbara Novak asked me behind our apartments when we were about six or seven. unfortunately it was right beneath my mother's kitchen window....

it was more NEX than M3. since we were so young and all.
