Jim Knowles and I have just upgraded our kite aerial photography kit to include two Sony Nex-5 and two Nex-5R cameras.
These are fitted with Sony 16mm wide-angle and Samyang 8mm fish-eye lenses.
Sony Nex-5s are being sold off at present, being an older model, and the Samyang lens comes in at just over £200. Although a manual lens, it is unusual to have this quality at such a low price:
