We are all waiting for Sony to release some new fast primes for our NEX camera. Meanwhile we have to look for third party lenses that can satisfy our need for speed. I found that lens on eBay: Kowa 55mm f/1.0 ([shoplink 4575]Click here to see the Kowa eBay auctions[/shoplink]). That lens has been modified to fit on your NEX camera without any adapter! Of course it’s manual focus only. It’s soft wide open but might you like that creamy effect.
To see some image samples visit the [shoplink 4575]eBay dealers product page[/shoplink]. They have some images to show. If you tested that lens on your NEX let us see some of your images!
Thanks!

Ooohhhh, 1.0? And it doesn’t even need an adapter? Interesting find! Would love to see a thorough review of this lenes!
Could end up being an alternative to the $1000 Voigtlander Nokton f/1.1 Lens:

….which is an alternative to the $10,000 Leica 50mm f/0.95 Noctilux:

I fall asleep at night dreaming of owning a .95–someone make a cheap copy please.
Looks nice in the specs, but the sample photos does not impress. I’ll definitely stick to my Zeiss 50mm f1,4. Yep, it’s slower, but most likely far superior in all other respects.
