Not cheap at all

Looks nice , but very expensive at least to me.

I doubt you will get infinity with it,
and the only lens usable is the 50 mm .. hardly justifies the cost.

Why do you think that?
There are the three outer lugs to fit other lenses.

Only if you desperately want to shoot with your Contax RF lenses on you NEX.
There are so many excellent lenses that you can use on a NEX, so you need to think if that adapter is really worth it.

Maybe this one can work also with 80 and 135mm.

The point was that there are already cheaper adapters with outer bayonet only.

I see, $15 Jupiter 8 is not worth £150 adapter. Smile

I have a Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 5cm T 1.5 in Contax/Kiev mount lens is expensive , excellent lens , but I still think about should I take this adapter or not.
