Realising the potential of the NEX-7 sensor puts such great demands on the lenses that I'm exploring lenses other than Sony lenses (except the sony Zeiss 24mm) My latest foray is into Hasselbald lenses, which seem to be less expensive on the SH market than Leica or Zeiss.
I have a Hasselblad camera with a Distagon 60mm f/3.5 lens and this lense seems to give great images on the Nex-7, but not the superlative that I was expecting. I've not seen any comments anywhere iamnge quality from Hasselblad lenses on a Nex-7 so I thought I'd ask here for any comments on this combination.
Thanks
Jim

The bokeh is independent from the format. Maybe you didn't notice this before because you used a bigger format camera thus achieving a higher degree of background blur ?

Thanks, Klaus. That's what I would have expected. I'd never noticed this before. It was a very big surprise that such a high quality lens would have that kind of bokeh!!

The situation should be much better if you stop down by 0.5EV already. This outlining effect is usually only present at max. aperture.

Ah, yes, thanks for that. I'll do some more tests when the sun comes out. :-))
