After trying out a copy of this lens belonging to a very kind friend, I had to have one for myself. IQ is amazing and it makes such a small and sexy combo with the NEX:

In this case, the old line about 'the best things come in small packages' is highly appropriate.

Some samples from my friend's copy on my NEX-3:

What adapter do you suggest for such a lens?

For the NEX? Attila sells one made from a Kiev, very nice quality. Or there are cheap Chinese outer bayonet only ones sans helicoid.

Yes, for the NEX. I'll have a chat with Attila. Thanks!

They aren't cheap but they are worth it, made very well by a skilled technician, and it allows you to use the wonderful Sonnar 1.5/50, I have a pre-war uncoated one and its wonderful, one lens I will never sell.
