Found these in an antique shop for 4euro's.
The adapter is way more expensive and even then you don't have aparture so I am a bit in doubt on wether or not I am going to keep these. (I searched the forum for sample photo's but the images are gone).
They are rediculously cute though!

These are the two best lenses of the Pentax 110 lineup. They do well on m43 sensors with adapters with built in aperture. Wink

Here is mine:

Only two images were posted but they are totally convincing. Bravo.

I don`t think they will be that good on the NEX, probably bad corners and perhaps som vignetting too. The 110 film size is close to the size of the m43 and the 24mm lens was the normal lens on this system compared to 25mm on m43.

I have used mine quite a lot on my PEN and OM-D, they are cute and nice to bring if size matters Very Happy
The 70mm is also ok, but the 24mm and the zoom is not that good IMHO.

These lenses are tiny, look like toys, but they really good on nex.
I have all of them (no zoom) and used 24mm for a while.

Indeed. Little gems, they are.

They are poor on the NEX, APS-C is pushing their coverage so the edges are poor.If they had apertures, they might work better on the NEX, but without, at 2.8, they are for novelty use only really, sharp only in the central portion with strong CA on the edges.

Shame on you for having stolen from that poor-but-honest antique shop proprietor! Wink

Seriously, you did great to get those lenses for only 4€. What a splendid find!

One thing, though:

Oftentimes you see with the 110 lenses, not all of them, but you see now and then a "shrink crack" in the plastic barrel. This does not really impact performance, but it is a minor negative. If your lenses are uncracked, so much the better.

Certainly you should keep your lenses, BTW. And do not worry regarding absence of a variable aperture. The lenses work well wide open, and you can always fab up an aperture with minimal effort if you determine later it has become a "must have".

70mm is very challenging lens. But when things go right way results are quite pleasing. Few BW at F2.8 on my NEX today.
Click on it twice for larger version.

Certainly shows that you have a very useable portrait lens, and at around 105 f4 full-frame-equivalent in a fairly tiny package, I imagine it is pretty inconspicuous. B+W may be a good idea to reduce aberrations etc.

Here is what you can get with the 2.8/70 and some very basic post-production (levels, downsizing and slight re-sharpening):

Anyone know if there is such a thing as a 110 to Q adapter with aperture? Nordentro showed a 110-M4/3 one, but I can't find a Q one. I want to use the 18 and 24 on my Q7 as they are so small, but without aperture, they are kinda useless.

You can buy a M4/3 adapter and print the M43 Lens to Pentax Q Adapter yourself. Wink
