I have Zeiss 25, 35 and 50 ZM lenses, but the Contax G 35/45/90 lenses are the ones on my NEX. The 35 Contax G Planar balances so well on the NEX, but the close focus distance is the real winner.:thumbs:Can't take this shot with an M lens, as it won't focus close enough...35/2 Planar.
I have the Kipon adapter and it is very smooth and precise. I did get a bad adapter the first time. It had rough spots in the focus ring. It was replaced.so how precise and smooth is manual focus through the adapter on 35mm planar?
I got the Kipon from a sale here on the forum and it works great. Focus is smooth and quick.so how precise and smooth is manual focus through the adapter on 35mm planar?
I found one on eBay that was not advertised as a kipon, but had "kipon" on the adapter in the picture. It was 90 vs 130+.Someone mentioned kipon contax G to nex adaptors cheaper in the US, but did not give a link. I see those on amazon, but am not sure they are the kipon adapter, which I have and really like.
The Pentax lenses, being SLR lenses with long registration distances, behave as well on NEX as any other APS-C camera. I am currently trying to decide which I like better, my SMC Tak 50/1.4 or my Voigtlander 50/1.5. The Pentax has the advantage of a closer minimum focus, and the Voigtlander has the advantage of a smaller size.Did anyone here try a Pentax 50mm?
I have very positive experience with Nikkor 20/2.8 AIS. Works very well on NEX, size with adapter is not too big and it's lightweight. Here is one sample and all other wide angle shots in that stream are also made with this lens.Looking for a nice lens for my NEX5. Has anyone used the Nikkor 24 or 28mm f2.8 AIS and if so, could you please post some examples? Would it work with the NEX/NIKON adapter that I already have (tried the 35mm 1.8DX but obviously not a manual lens!) Thanks.
