First trail walk shot (actually two stitched handheld shots) using the NEX 6 with Sigma 30mm f/2.8 DN.

Kit, if the tilt adapter you ordered is the same as this one then it should work fine, and you will enjoy the extra facility it gives your OM lenses. I've used mine principally to add apparent DOF to an image (rather than the miniaturization effect)

Thanks Shac. Image quality seems to be about the same as the NEX 7, but for me handling is better with the 6.

Mike, it's a different one but I'm sure the principle is similar and I will post a photograph of it when it arrives.
As an ex-architecture shooter, using the best of Canon's and Nikon's lenses, tilt is definitely something I miss. When I mentioned 'reverse tilt', what I was thinking of there was using the Olympus 50 macro with a bit of reverse tilt to lessen the depth of field for portraits actually. I have no idea what the bokeh of the Olympus 50 is like but I'm hopeful that about half a degree or so of reverse tilt will only improve its look in this regard.
And to Shac: I have two NEX 6 bodies, and even though they have a lower MP count, I prefer them over the 7 in every way. And (a number of others have posted on this) the NEX 6 finder is (for me) definitely superior. I have zero problems using and composing with them.

Nice shots scho, especially like the rendering of your Hexanon. Very pleasing and nice bokeh. Comes out well with these nice and vibrant flowers.
I'm having more and more fun with my NEX6
These are just some quick snaps walking back from the Wroclaw city center after dinner going to our hotel. I'm amazed how the camera handles the low light, especially since the 16-50 PZ I had on there is not a very bright lens.
1) University
2) Simple street
3) Along the river Oder
4) The Cathedral, looking over the river (this is actually a 6 MP crop of the total 16 MP sensor)

Thank you Pieter. Nice, dramatic B&W images of the city after dark.
pegelli those are fantastic shots even with just the PZ!
I haven't been able to shoot my NEX-6 much lately due to the bad weather in Vancouver. Of course when the weather is great I'm busy at work and don't get the opportunity to shoot.
Anyway it did clear up a bit last week and I finally managed to get a decent shot with my NEX-6.

Beautiful "blue hour" reflection xtianyves. lovely composition and colours.
Also like all these different plants and other details from scho, every lens a bit different but still there is also a very pleasing commonality in them.
Maybe this one of mine doesn't belong in the "fun" thread. It's concentration camp Gross Rosen (near Wroclaw, Poland). A depressing place and the weather we had there really brought out the mood I felt.

Thanks. Here is a quick iPhone snap of the Canon FD 50mm 1.2L on the NEX 6. A compact but relatively heavy lens that balances nicely on the NEX, with the added weight a plus for stability when shooting hand held. Takes 52mm filters and I use B+W 52mm metal lens hood.
