I did not miss your point that is why I pointed out it to be wrong.

Oh, thank you!Vivek,
You miss the point entirely, but I'm not wasting time trying to educate you any longer.
Douglas, It would not be any different than how they perform on an Epson R-D1s (I used to have one but traded that in for a spectrometer), although, with higher pixel density and all that, it is difficult to make a prediction.Vivek, any guesses on how 35mm M lenses might perform on the NEX as a standard lens? Do you think we'll be safe from problems on the edges?
Doesn't matter. Part of your argument concerned difficulties with close lens-sensor planes and mechanical considerations which of course was not true.Vivek,

I doubt that.Oh, thank you!
I am educated correctly.
Only now I remember a thread on p.net where you were coming up with the same stuff. Get your facts right for goodness sake!
Only if you want it to be broken frequently. There's a shutter in the way, or had you forgotten that?Doesn't matter. Part of your argument concerned difficulties with close lens-sensor planes and mechanical considerations which of course was not true.
You can easily have a bayonet mount and position a lens to touch a sensor, if need be.
I have enjoyed a lot of comments throughout this thread and thought the discussion certainly had some good point's being made and counter points that followed . . . . .I think this Sony Camera has the personality of a "concrete block"

Amongst other things I dislike about the NEX cameras, aside from the lens problem and control ergonomics which look hopeless to me for any serious shooting, is the complete lack of any eye level viewfinder, standard accessory shoe or flash connection.
I could see one of these with the flip-out screen and ultra-zoom lens as a waist-level only camera, but why I'd spend the money for that when I have other cameras that are just as good at it while being more versatile is a question I can't answer yet.
Believe it or not, there actually is an OVF available for the 16mm lens.
I was pleasantly surprised by the NEX-5's tilt-out screen, APS-C sensor, and 18mm flange distance -- enough to seriously consider buying one. My favorite camera of all time was a Hasselblad 500 C/M with a waist-level finder -- an NEX-5 on a tripod could be used (like Panasonic's G1/G2/GH cams) in a similar way.It must attach via the flash unit's socket, eh? Another completely non-standard item... unusable in any other context.
No, the M mount can not go inside the NX10 mount. While the LTM lenses can be seated inside the mount.Ah, you are able to mount M lenses on your Samsung? Cool.
Rich, Weird a$$ arguments based on incorrect thinking leads to such proclamations. Looking up some basic texts would be helpful.Doesn't matter. Part of your argument concerned difficulties with close lens-sensor planes and mechanical considerations which of course was not true.

Sorry Brian!I need Jono Slack to get his hands on one
