Customer Reviews
Perfect for Luddites like me
This very simple little contraption allows me to use even my oldest Nikon lenses on my new Sony Alpha NEX camera. The Alpha NEX camera meters properly with non-AI, AI and AIs lenses. I might have to buy more of these and just leave them on the lenses!
A winner with Nikkor 50mm f1.4D
I tested this with my late model Nikkor 50mm f1.4D and my 1988 Nikkor 70-210 f4 lens. It worked great with both. See video samples:[…].
works perfectly
Works perfectly when using my old Nikon glass (1960s and 1970s lenses) with the nex-5.
Just go to manual mode, allow the Alpha NEX camera to shoot without having lens information, and presto!
As an added bonus, you can remove your nikon lens and put a piece of foil over the adapter to use it as a pinhole lens!
Well-made, tight tolerances, looks like it will hold up well with use.

What a great camera!! I did a lot of research before buying this camera and I love it!! The two cameras I was considering was the this one (Sony Alpha NEX-5) or the Olympus PEN P!. I went to my local camera store (Ritz Camera) and was able to play with both the brands. It became quite clear which was the superior camera. The LCD screen is amazing, while the menu and functions are easy to use. The only downside of this camera is that it was only recently released so it doesn’t have that many accessories available. I would love to see an underwater housing case, and maybe a built in view finder for the future.
If you are looking for something that offers more then the simple compact cameras, but not something as bulky or complicated as SLR’s, this is the camera for you!

The new Sony NEX-5 DSLR is worth the wait and the money. I photograph choral groups in less than ideal lighting settings. The NEX 5 handles low-light shots extremely well (particularly when flash cannot be used). Speaking of the flash attachment…some reviews have been critical that it’s not integrated into the camera itself. Easy fix…keep it attached (simple). However, to date, I have used the flash very little.
I purchased the NEX-5 with the 18-55 lens. It is responsive and quick to focus. In addition, the on/off switch can be left on…and after your preset time, it goes to a standby setting. This is worth a lot because you are not constantly powering up the camera. Yes, this tends to drain the battery more quickly, but I carry two fully charged batteries with me at all shoots.
The NEX 5 does not have an included view-finder. There has been some criticism of this “lack”, however, for most (since the LCD screen is stunningly clear) that’s basically a non-issue.
I have had both a DSLR and a digital Point and Shoot. This, for me, is an ideal camera. I have the benefits of the DSLR (and more) without the bulk…and have more options and better photographs than can be generally shot with the Point and Shoot. I needed/wanted a camera that’s easy to carry, has only a few lens options, and takes great shots. This, for me, is it. If I have so many lens choices…by the time I can exchange the lens, the photo opportunity is gone.
It shoots stunning video; even handheld….the stereo built-in microphones are quite good too. While shooting video, the camera will adjust to variant lighting as you pan through your shot. When using the telephoto zoom (in/out), there is NO sound…and it is not picked up by the inboard microphones. Yeah…
The PMB software that comes with the Sony NEX 5 is fairly good…and of course, recognized the RAW file type. Adobe is going to release (soon) an update for their RAW support in CS5 and Lightroom 3 to accommodate RAW files from the Sony NEX 5. For me, unless you do major photo work, you likely will find that the JPEG is of high enough quality to use for most purposes.
The software based controls (vs. dials) does take getting used to. Once you have, there is little difficulty/problem using it.
With 14.2 mega-pixels…the camera takes superb still photos with far greater depth of field than I have seen in many digital cameras.
The NEX-5 is not for everyone. If at all possible, try it out first and see the results for yourself before you purchase. I am thoroughly pleased with my choice…and have no problems recommending it to others.
Not so hot stuph:
* I do wish I could turn off ALL sounds. When photographing in quiet(er) environments, this can be a distraction and an issue.
* Eager for the new G lens to be released for additional telephoto capabilities.
* For me, the ability to take 3D panorama shots (with Sony’s new firmware upgrade) is nice, but not important to me.
