This morning I have taken some pics with NEX-5 and Tak 1.8/85mm. The weight distribution is bad with such large and heavy lenses and I have a lot of problems with the handling. With such a lens or similar you will turn the small cam anyway into a big one.
Perhaps smaller and leightweight OM lenses or 40mm Konica would be better.

True, at least at the front end.

I don't think it might be a good idea to use this kind of grip for nex. My expierience is just use the original half leather case of sony nex5 to increase the handling feeling. it helps a lot. and btw, beware of some kind of non-original half case for sony nex, cause the screw on the case may destroy the tripod connection on camera.

Thanks for your comments.
Everyone made own experiences and for myself the handling and weight distribution is much better with this battery grip than without.
