There is nothing special. Any cheap adapter will be good enough. I'm using a cheap Chinese Exakta to NEX adapter from Roxsen for my Topcor lenses on my A7R II.
The adapters sold in Europe are made in China anyway and are sold for apprx. EUR 50,-; if you buy them in China (e.g. via Ebay) you'll save apprx. 50%.

It's 49mm for the 58/1.8 lens. I'm using cheap foldable rubber hoods available from Amazon or Ebay. Like with the adapters it's cheapest to buy from China directly but it may take some time for delivery.

Thank you all for the sugestions, i have just checked my old junk and found a new in blister rubber hood in 62mm , even though it's look junkie . Now I'm waiting for the adapter to arrive and check later vignetting problems with the rubber junkie hood.

Sorry I mixed it up with the F1.8 version. You're right the F1.4 version is 62mm.
