Hi, I am very new to photo shooting, and just bought a new NEX 5 twin lens. What type of adaptor is recommended that support most of the "non-NEX" lens? Or which is the popular/must-have adaptor for NEX?

I am interested to try out other non-NEX lens.

I am not sure if this is slow, but do you guys try to use the camera without the lens properly attached to the camera?

I just found out that if the 16mm pancake lens being detached from the camera and alight in between the object and camera, it can focus on very near object and the result is quite nice (at least to me) compare to the normal setup.

Some sample output here: http://jdx7071.blogspot.com/2012/04/nex-5-...ject-using.html

Please comment.

The pins is not connected, the lens is totally detached from the camera, the autofocus is not functioning, the focus is done by adjusting the distance between the lens and the camera.

Hi all sifu, wanna ask if I buy macro extension tube, something like this (http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/Macro-Extension-Tube-Ring-Sony-NEX-3-NEX-5N-NEX-C3-NEX-5C-Nex-7-NEX-5-/251026418016?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3a72572960#ht_2488wt_905), I understand that there is no more auto focus and aperture control, but how to control the aperture manually? and also the manual focus, does nex 5 default lenses (16mm, 18-55mm) support manual focus by turning the focusing dial on the lens.

how about the manual focus? does the stock lenses support manual focus by turning the focusing ring on the lens, when the macro extension is attached?

how about stick lenses? the 16mm pancakes and the 18-55mm zoom lens

typo, I mean stock lenses. so after attack the macro extension to then stock lenses, I cannot control the aperture, but how about the focus? do stock lenses support manual focus in that setup?
