Nex with alternative / legacy lenses group

Here's a couple from the last year with my 5N & various legacy glass.

I just took some snaps with the Leica 24mm/f2.8 Elmarit ASPH so I thought I should post in case anyone's interested in how this lens looks on the NEX-7. They're nothing special but the lens doesn't exhibit any discernible color shift. The only lens I have that does on the NEX-7 is the CV 15/4.5.

I'm in Newport, RI for the long weekend and finally managed to get into the IYRS Coronet restoration project. It's amazing, there's an overview here and a running update here.

These are straight JPEGs from a NEX-7, Novoflex adapter and a 24mm/f2.8 Elmarit M-mount. All are full-frame:

Some shots with my recently purchased Nex-6 and the cheap Fujian 35mm/f1.7. Love this camera and this Chinese toy lens. Pictures were converted to BW in Lightroom.

Please excuse me for being a little off topic. I recently purchased a Nex 3C and am trying to use it handheld. My hands, for a man, aren't particularly large but this camera is hard for me to handhold. It is so "short." Does anyone feel that way? Are there an remedies?

I've been thinking the same with the 5R I just got. I chose it over the 6/7 because of its touch screen zoom for manual focusing, but otherwise would have preferred the slightly larger bodies.

What I'm thinking of doing is fashioning some kind of wood grip that will just fit my hand a bit better -- nothing too large. I'm not any kind of craftsman, so it may never take fruition, but I'll certainly share it here if I do.

I believe I've seen a more traditional battery grip type setup for at least some of the NEX bodies, but I thought it added far too much bulk and looked awkward.
 
I still love my old NEX-5 from the first series - the only orginal lens I have is the 16F28, mostly I use my Canon FD glas but sometimes also my Voigtländer and Schneider-Kreuznach glas from the Retina IIIs and Bessamatic.
