Hello !
Please tell if you prefere some special adapters for the Sony nex .I've seen that there are adapters with a shoe for the tripod , wich are pricier .Do you think that they are better ? I'd like those without shoe .
What about the infinity focus ? Are there problems here too?

I have Nex/FD with a tripod mount. The mount is removable .. so you can unscrew it if you want.
You will need a piece like this if you use heavy lenses - otherwise not necessary.

I have several adapters with a zebra look (silver stripes - and they all all fine. About the infinity it is generally OK - i only had a trouble only with one 4/135 Sonnar in exakta mount.

Isn't Exacta / Topcon mount 44.7mm register ? do you have other Exakta lenses that work on that adapter?

I bought adapter with tripod mount what I plan to use with long lenses. If you not plan to use with long lenses. Without tripod mount just same fine, due large register distance difference very easy to make NEX adapter. I think almost any of them just good. I use almost always Pixco made adapters , inexpensive , quality Chinese made adapters.

All my other exakta lenses were fine. The repair man which cleans the lenses here told me that the infinity is set by a length of a small ring which is calibrated in the factory. I have asked him to shorten it a bit (part of a mm) and now the sonnar is fine too.
