Close-up shots with Sony NEX-7 & Zeiss 24mm f/1.8

This will probably be my last post in regards to showing the capabilities of the NEX-7 & Zeiss 24mm.  I typically leave these types of post to other bloggers but since there are not too many of us that have this camera, I felt that I should post some initial pictures and thoughts.

The Zeiss 24mm f/1.8 can focus within 6 inches of it’s subject.  I’ve had other lenses in the past that had this capability but since using my Leica lenses I’ve grown accustomed to having to be about 3 feet from my subjects.

These shots were all taken within 6-12 inches from my subject.  I’m truly amazed on the quality, detail, and sharpness when looking at these pictures at full resolution.  I definitely think Sony has a winner, my only hope is the next one will be a full frame sensor.

I’ve posted the original picture and a 100% crop of my subject.
