(Updated) Micro Four Thirds to Sony NEX adapter
The very first Micro Four Thirds to NEX lens adapter is for sale on eBay! That makes it even easier for current Micro Four Thirds user to switch over to the Sony NEX system. The only prolem will be the different sensor size. I suspect Micro Four Thirds lenses will heavily vignette on Sony sensors because of the larger sensor.
Linkt to eBay: Micro Four Thirds to NEX lens adapter
UPDATE: I fixed the wrong link. Sorry!

could be interesting with the 20mm but it is way overpriced + made for a smaller sensor.
sony come out with a normal prime finally : P

2 years ago |I have tried to handheld a Vöigtländer 25mm f0,95 lens in front of the NEX-3. Since the register distance of m4/3 is longer than Sony NEX, it can focus to infinity. About the coverage, the image circle is able to cover 16:9 completely. If you have a way to change the rear part of the lens into Sony NEX, that’s usable, also for the movie purpose,too.

Aperture and focus on native m4/3 lenses are electronically controlled. I highly doubt whoever manufactured the adapter has also reverse-engineered the m4/3 lens communication protocol to be compatible with that of the NEX.
In other words, except for mounting m4/3-mount manual lenses (CV 25/0.95), you are mounting a lens which you cannot control aperture or even focus!

2 years ago |This adapter could be useful for those who own several adapters to mount their legacy lenses on µ4/3 bodies. When they buy a NEX, they do not need to buy a whole bunch of new adapters.
By the way, this is also the reason why many people buy Canon EOS –> Sony E or Canon EOS –> µ4/3 adapters: to use with their mirrorless camera the legacy lenses they used with their Canon camera. As for µ4/3, you cannot control manually the aperture of a Canon EOS lens.

2 years ago |I doubt that lens works on that camera, but nice would be a Samsung NX adapter for NEX cameras. They are APS-C lenses.
The 20 and 30mm, even the 20-50mm would be a nice kit lens.

Rawfa
2 years ago |Unless someone can find out a way to allow the users to control focus and aperture this adapter is worthless. But it WOULD be really amazing if this could be done. I mean the 14mm 2.5 would be a 20mm and the 20mm 1.7 would be a 30mm. Both would go great with the NEX setup size wise.
