NEX adapters that have a hard infinity stop?

[Ken Ford]

One of the annoyances with my cheap lens adapters is the sloppy register - they all allow focus past infinity. Do any of the nicer adapters offer correct register where lens infinity is actually, well - infinity?

Im skeptical on finding one by brand - I have a suspicion that the tolerances on Nex registration distance is not as tight as they could be. I bought a Voigtlander adapter (one of the more expensive ones) and it was allowing past infinity focus. I ended up dismantling it and shimming it with aluminium foil to achieve accurate focus. It came with 0.3mm of shim washers already and I ended up adding another 0.4mm - tried +0.2mm which wasn't enough and had to dismantle it a second time. I've also tried it on another body since and it was not as accurate as on mine...

Hmmmm. That's concerning. I should try shimming my cheap adapters, but they have other problems that bother me, too (lock not at 12:00, general looseness.)

I suppose I could order a Novoflex and return it if it's not an improvement, but I hate doing that.

i use novoflex and it does the job.

Novoflex. Insanely expensive, but perfect

My Hawk's seem to be spot on for infinity.
