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%. _________________ Thomas Bernardy

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. _________________ Thomas Bernardy

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