John, All such straps are old contraptions made for DSLRs. It screws onto the (bottom) tripod slot.fotoingo, how did you attach the strap to the bottom? Picture would help.
You can buy straps which attach to the tripod socket or you can "build" one yourself like I didfotoingo, how did you attach the strap to the bottom? Picture would help.
Mine is this: Buy Sony DSLRs. Cheaper and more versatile.It appears that the Rayqual adapters will be available on the 9th for $210. I'm not sure it is worth that much more than the China made one. Any opinions? I could see a little more if it included electrical contacts with information and processing like the E to Alpha mount but for a pure mechanical mount it seems steep.
John,I have been conducting low light high ISO testing comparing against the Ricoh GXR A12. One thing is very evident and that is the low light metering is way off. It (NEX) will underexpose the images by a considerable amount. When exposures are matched the Sony outperforms the Ricoh at ISO 3200 by a small amount (1/2 to 1 stop). It is hard to be precise because LR gives slightly different results than Bibble. Bibble can't process DNGs and LR can't process Sony RAW. It is furthest off using multi, but even in spot it is off. I am talking about looking at the histograms as a basis for determining whether exposure is off though it is pretty evident to the eye. This metering issue changes in good light which is very frustrating. Could I have a defective camera? Has anyone else seen this?
If you could only keep one, which one had to go. GXR A12 or NEX 5. I understand, it's all about compromising in one way or the other.

The problem here is that few if any c-mount lenses are going to cover the larger sensor of the NEX series.The NEX-3/5 would make nice matches (in terms of compactness) with some of the c-mount lenses I have.
I bought a (RJ) c-mount adapter. Monday, I am clearing out a few old gear.The problem here is that few if any c-mount lenses are going to cover the larger sensor of the NEX series.
