New micro 4/3 lenses on NEX?

I've been wondering if anyone ever tried one of these lenses on a NEX camera:

- SLR Magic 12mm f1.6
- Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95

I've seen some micro 4/3 to e-mount adapters on ebay but I've never payed any attention to them since all dedicated micro 4/3 don't have a focus ring or iris ring. But this is not the case with these 2 lenses.

Mazor, this was very helpful. For my personal type of photography the results of adapting these lenses wouldn´t work out. It´s this type of lens that keeps making me want to go back to micro 4/3...but then I look at the IQ I get with that marvelous NEX sensor and my head goes into a continuous loop. :)

Also there is now a new samyang 8mm designed for emount nex which will just as small as mft version

advantage of the samyang 8mm for nex or the samyang 8mm that fits all cameras is that you don't have to remove the hood to stop vignetting

Yes, Samyang 8mm/3.5 is a very good lens, size doesn't matter.
My 8mm has Canon mount - with adapters also for m4/3, NEX, NX
