I sold my EP1 (focusing was too slow but otherwise a great camera) - I sold my G1 (just wasn't for me.) I tried adapted lens options (Nikon) on both but found them too difficult to focus easily. I love my 5D2 but it's too big to carry all the time.
All this talk of Contax lens options on the Nex is driving me crazy. I owned a Contax T longer than any other camera and loved it in my film days. The lens was fantastic and at that point in my life the rangefinder focus was fast (many years ago).
Maybe I shouldn't do anything but if I did. Would you rather have a Nex 5 with the kit lens option plus a Contax lens or two or....
$700 for the kit
$100 for an adapter
$600 for 2 Contax lens options (35 or 45 and 90)
$1400
OR
Would you save up for a used M8 and a 40 (for cost) or a 50 Summircron.
$2200 for M8
$600 for the 40mm
$2800 - maybe another $400 for a used 50
Twice the price - what do you all think. You could also talk me out of anything at this point. I am trying to resist.
