Customer Reviews
A solid aluminum construction, with simple to understand marking (red circle) to indicate where you should connect the adapter to the NEX-5 (the white circle on the body). Just twist until you hear a click from the body. Do the same with the lens and you are good to go.
The adapter came in a yellow box and wrapped in plastic inside the box. But there's no instructions so I hope the above description is useful enough. There's no aperture control on this adapter so you cannot use the "G" class lens properly as the aperture is set electronically via the body of Nikon cameras.
There's two issues with picking from only the "D" class lenses. 1. They just don't have that many variety compare to the G class. I picked up a 50mm F1.8, which leads me to the 2nd issue. 2. The "D" class lenses are made for full frame cameras. On the NEX-3/5 with the APS-C sensor, there's a 1.6x crop factor, which basically means the 50mm is really a 80mm lens. This works out perfect for me as I really wanted a portrait lens but you have to take that into account. But I almost wanted to return the 50mm lens and get the 35mm as I couldn't get use to the small angle of view, but I'm beginning to love it now.
Overall, I highly recommend this adapter over Sony's own due to price issues. If you must have auto-focus, go with Sony's adapter. But check out Youtube for videos on auto focus speed of the adapter and see if its right for what you need (I can say for sure its useless for auto-focus on sports shots).
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:[...].
