Hopefully information’s about how well legacy lenses work on nex will appear soon, some review or something would be great.
The pre-order price is actually ￥14,700 (about US$170) if you order directly from Rayqual (Japan-only).
Yeah I’m curious about this. I don’t own any SSMs but plan too, Would be nice to know they function on the NEX. Would have been nice to see a 3rdparty HotShoe to Alpha adapter for the NEX too.
The following company is the manufacturer of the Leica LTM / L39 –> Sony E adapter, a prototype of which you presented in your post dated June 18, 2010: Bokkeh Co., Inc. http://www.bokkeh.com
Their L39 adapter is supposed to be ready on July 7 and shipping from 8 July. There are two models, black or silver. Price is US$45 + US$3 for shipping (EMS). Ordering is open, payment can be made with PayPal.
This picture http://www.bokkeh.com/images/stories/products/adapters/NEX/L39/prototype/00.L39-E-Setup-View.jpg will give you an idea of how a rangefinder lens such as the Canon 50mm f/1.8 will fit on NEX-5
They plan to release M42 adapters in July as well, followed by Leica-M, Canon FD and Nikon F adapters. They are still reviewing the opportunity to manufacture Contax G and Contax / Yashica adapters.

This all seems to be interesting news. I wonder why a certain website seem to think that there is nothing worth writing about in the Sony imaging world lately. Oh I know why, because the guy who runs it is bitter about Sony not sending him units to review because he is a hack reviewer. So instead he reviews garbage ricoh p&s, I guess google ads pays more for garbage than Sony products. Don’t call him out on it though, he’ll just kick you off his pathetic site.
mike, cgarrard is an idiot. He declared Nex a failure before they were even available in stores. Now he is looking like a fool for making that prediction.
Hi There, I have a Leica M3 with a wonderful Summicron collapsable F2 lens. Would i be able to use the lens with an adapter with a Nex 7 ??
