Anyone tried to adapt Sonnar from Rollei A 26 on Sony Nex or m4/3? I wonder the results...I have two A 26.

Result I think will be good , to adapt well can be costly DIY adaption will be ugly. I did ask my friend who is a pro repair man to take off lens from Konica SE (Konica AUTO S3 lens) he said there is too much issues not so good idea to cannibalize it from a dead camera. I think case just same here too.

Atilla when you say cannibalize i begin to loose courage for the process Smile. But that Sonnar really looks so tasteful...

Yes cannibalize for sure - guess the lens is not interchangeable.
I have seen something similar.

I had done a few times at the beginning I never used this lenses more than a few times so wasn't necessary at all and I did ruin a piece of history. I met sometimes rare item what I saw once in my life DIY converted Twisted Evil ruined. I guess who did it had same case than we have now , eh there is some and I bought cheaply why I not feed my interest...
