Would be nice, but there is not enough space between the lens and Nex for the optics

Hi Rafa, If you are here locally, I might lend it for a few days. I waited mine for >1 year and it has exceeded all my expectations. So, no chance of it parting my hands, brother.Vivek, I have to tell you these results you´ve posted are really really bad. I think you should sell you SB asap as it´s ruining your style. As a good pal I´ll do the sacrifice of taking it off your hands
Man, I keep going over and over this thread. Everyday I check the Metabones´ website waiting for the EF adapter to be available. I´ve already got a Canon 28mm 1.8 and a Canon 50mm 1.4 that I´m super eager to test.
Wow, thats kinda weird. That is exactly the combo I am looking at getting. I will be picking up a planar within the next week or so and the Flektogon was next on the list if the M42 adapter works out.Some interesting stuff here, Thanks for posting. I also just ordered the C/Y to Nex SB and a Contax Zeiss 50/1.7. I can´t wait for them to arrive... I am also very curious about the M42 to C/Y adapter, since I am really interested in getting a 35/2.4 Flektogon (I had it once and loved that lens, would be awesome to use it again...).
Great minds think alike..:salute:Wow, thats kinda weird. That is exactly the combo I am looking at getting. I will be picking up a planar within the next week or so and the Flektogon was next on the list if the M42 adapter works out.
Which it does by the way. But my adapter is loose in the SB just as it is in any other CY mount I have used it in. I need to get a better M42/CY adapter to make sure it will be all snug and work OK.
The Metabones dude is an alpa fanatic - from what I've read.Great minds think alike..:salute:
I just ordered a Fotodiox M42-C/Y adapter even when I won´t be purchasing the Flek yet (for some reason adapters always take much longer to arrive than lenses...). Hope it will be a decent adapter and that it will work OK.
Those are lovely portraits of your girl, the ML lenses are quite something, aren´t they?
On a different note, I don´t quite get Metabone´s move of making Alpa-Nex SB. I am sure they have done their survey and have good reasons, but Alpa adapters are scarce and wildly overpriced. I think they are missing a great business opportunity by not offering reasonably priced Alpa adapters (MD and FD to Alpa would be awesome), and would certainly turn the Alpa SB into a hot seller. Unless I am missing something, with a 37.7mm flange distance Alpa mount certainly allows for quite a number of interesting combinations...
