Hi,
since this is my first post here (or at least I think so ), a warm hello to everybody.
And now ad rem: I have (or will have) a bunch of QBM lenses of decent quality and wanted to use them with my Nex 5N. So I bought a Kipon QBM-Nex adapter, it arrived today and... I'm really disappointed
First of all, it doesn't focus at infinity. To be honest, it isn't even close - with a 55 mm f/1.4 Voigtlander it can focus on subjects located in 20, maybe 25 meters distance. With Rolleinar 80-200 mm zoom it's a little bit better, perhaps 35-40 meters.
Secondly, the adapter doesn't puch the auto aperture pin on the back of the lens, so I can only shoot wide open. I know, I can glue the pin pushed inside, but so far I don't want to do this, as I may want to use the lenses with some Rollei/Voigtlander QBM body later.
So my question is, do you happen to know any QBM - Nex adapter that's free of the above issues? I'd be grateful for a link with any tested one...
TIA
