possibly silly NEX adapter question

Frankly it's just a matter of time and money before I pull the trigger and buy a NEX. There are decent holiday prices in Canada right now for the NEX F3 but I'm hoping to catch a sale for a NEX 5 model, that would be enough camera to keep me going for years.

Right now I've got a fair investment in Canon EF adapters, i.e. C/Y-EF, Nikkon-EF, half a dozen M42-EF. Is it smarter to rebuy all these adapters in NEX, or just buy a couple of EF-NEX adapters and stack them, i.e. lens -> M42-EF -> EF-NEX -> body?

Obviously I'd be buying new adapters for the stuff that's problematic on Canon, i.e. the PB-EF adapter doesn't get infinity, the Exakta adapter doesn't work with auto lenses, etc.

You just need one Nex-Eos adapter and you can stack the Eos adapters which you already have.

That's a great price, but they don't seem to take Canadian credit cards Rolling Eyes and cross-border shipping is usually extortionate.

Any Americans considering the NEX should jump right on that!
