The wide throat of the E mount bodes well for using the 35/1.8 Nikkor on NEX. Hopefully it will fit.

Great news, but how is manual focusing working for those that have tried manual activation and then the magnified view and then framing once again? How does it work in the real world?

Now all we need is an FX NEX. It's a shame they sell their cameras locked down to only use the regional language.

Price of the NEX Voigtlander adapters is same as the Voigtlander Micro 4/3 Adapters, $179 each plus shipping.

$8 shipping within the US, $35 internationally for up to 4 adapters

Taking $25 Paypal deposits to Stephen@CameraQuest.com

Leica M adapters expected to ship in August, the other NEX adapters in September.

Thanks
Stephen

Pardon my ignorance, but as far as I could find out, the sensor of the NEX-5 is 50% larger than the micro 4/3's size, so that would work out at about the APS size. Would a lens designed for the full 35mm film format, as are our beloved Nikon RF lenses, see their field of view reduced? In other words, would the 3.5cm have an equivalent field of view of a 50mm lens?

Of course thats what always tends to happen on cropped sensors ...surely an FX version must be possible :bang:
