Sony NEX 5N OLED viewfinder
Buy it now
The best feature of the Sony A77 and NEX 7 is now available for the NEX 5N. Simply stunning viewfinder, like looking through an optical one but with all the advantages of an EVF plus the ability to record video through it and with live peaking for easier manual focus. What I also like about it is the ability to tilt it upwards on a hinge. You can’t do that with the A77 and NEX 7.
Tokina +0.5 anamorphic diopter
Buy it now
If you’ve got an anamorphic lens you need one of these miracle filters! Unless it is the LA7200 or a LOMO which requires a larger diopter. This is a 72mm low power achromats that screws onto the front of the anamorphic like a filter. Diopters or achromats dramatically improve the sharpness and minimum focus distance of anamorphic lenses. More can be read about it at EOSHD here. They are rare. £65 is a very generous offer.
Heavy duty steel anamorphic clamp
Buy it now
If you are doing handheld work or mounting the camera on a car, or other moving rig which pulls a few Gs these clamps are much more heavy duty and secure than the others available on eBay. These are custom made in limited numbers in England by an F1 engineer and are also rare.
Sony NEX 5N LCD hood

This is cheap and rather useful. It’ll protect the screen when stowed and act as a shade in bright sunlight, improving screen visibility outdoors.
