How did he managed to get the lens of an Oly 35RC on a Sony Nex Camera? I wonder how does one work with this. Focus wide open, stop down and take the shot?

Pretty cool - it looks like he found a way to get it into a focusing mount. I've never had a problem focusing my NEX-7 at aperture, no wide open focus needed.

A neat way to take advantage of a broken 35RC. I wonder what one could do with a lens fixed at f/2.8.

I looks like a good portrait taker, from the example he posted. Wide open limits your focus depth, thus eliminating distracting background elements.

A lens that cannot be stopped down seems useless to me. Besides For the price one can get better MF lenses to use with a mirrorless (or even a nice 35RC).
