A couple of weeks ago I told you that Camera MX transformed a [shoplink 17307 ebay]Leica Summicron 35mm f/2.0[/shoplink] in a fully autofocus lens for NEX cameras. The video on top shows the working sample.
The Leica lens uses the [shoplink 17308 ebay]Contax G Biogon 28mm f/2.8[/shoplink] chassis to add AF on the lens.
Camera MX plans to release modifiy and sell five Leica M lenses: The [shoplink 17310 ebay]35mm f/3.5 (here on eBay)[/shoplink], [shoplink 17307 ebay]Summicron 35mm f/2 (here on eBay)[/shoplink], [shoplink 17309 ebay]Summicron 50mm f/2 (here on eBay)[/shoplink], [shoplink 17311 ebay]Elmar 90mm f/4 (here on eBay)[/shoplink].

Wow that was actually really fast. Good night leica
How about Metabones version?
Sony with speedboosted AF Leica Lenses…
Im sure that would be the end of every brand not named Sony in the pro market.
Mirrorless is the future imo. Its so modular and flexible.
do these Leica lenses leave enough space for Speed Booster glass?
i’d love to have my Contax G lenses Speed Boosted also, but I think they’re too close to the imaging plane.
I think you should ask the question one more time.
I don’t think three times is enough.

There’s no space for other lens elements behind Leica M or Contax-G Lenses so no speed boosters for those

How is this being mounted on the camera?
I’m pretty sure manual focusing that bottle would be much faster.
If you used focus peaking, maybe. But then the focus wouldn’t be as accurate.
I just want a M-mount – NEX speedbooster, autofocus is not particularely necissary for this.
The short flange of M-mount means there isn’t sufficient space for the speedbooster’s optics. We should be hoping that the fullframe NEX provides the needed M compatibility via adapter.
Agreed, all I hoped is Sony doesn’t change the FF E-Mount mount standard, cause it’ll likely render every lens adapter that’s already out there useless.

AF with such adapters is a joke. Impractical and expensive.

THEY SHOULD RELEASE A KIT FOR ADAPTING ANY LENS TO AF!!!1111 one one one
Admit it, there is no Nex 7n, stop toying with your readers
Hey hey now. Camera pr0n is allowed in moderation especially when it means other non-e-mount lenses are achieving auto focus on the NEX via some type of Mod or Adapter.
Dear Admin, talking about adapter, did you come across any good review on LA-EA3? Heard that it is like LA-EA1 without any mirror. Any idea it can be use for APS-C with APS-C alpha lenses? Any advantage of LA-EA3 over LA-EA1 on a APS-C sensor, example more lights or less vignetting? I don’t see this product on Ebay or anywhere for sale separately, only know it comes with NEX VG900. Also the new wire remote RM-VPR1, finally it could be used for NEX3N. I supposed for all future nex, we will be able to use this remote?
This is very nice BUT
Does Camera NX have a website? Are these lenses or conversions available? Prices.
Hi im in swiss I have NEX7 and need Lens 16-50 f 3.5-5.6 OSS Zoom ??????
