OK, I don't have any RF lenses to use on it, although I have Minolta lenses I can use with the A-mount adapter. Still, the use of the camera has a somewhat RF feel, so I guess the subject matter is somewhat appropriate for RFF....
I think there's huge potential for adapted lenses. While I am pretty happy with the kit lens, I just got my A-mount adapter, and feel like I can squeeze a bit more resolution out of it.
The below photo is a 100% crop (converted from RAW), which I thought might be a good example of the detail from the Minolta 50/1.7. I purposefully did not use noise reduction, although it could use some. I did use sharpening. ISO 400, F3.2.

That's extraordinary... Great example.
I'm considering getting some Leica R glass to experiment with.
But they don't make an adapter for the Nex yet. It's only a matter of time though.

Just to put it into more perspective, this is the uncropped (just resized, of course) photo, so you can see where the above crop came from.

Amazing. Just ordered an M adaptor for my new Nex-5. Finally my Leica lenses will get out of the closet while the new dark room is under construction!
