I really want to get this Sony NEX in the future. Went to the metabones website but they don't have my manual focus lens->metabones adapter. Just wondering if anyone in the business knows any rumors or solid leads on what they will come up with. Alpa->metabones? I was surprised at that. I dind't think Alpa was that popular back in the day.

Oh man! I have GREAT Minolta MD lenses. 21mm, 35.18, and the 85m1.8 I can wait. Maybe another company will be like the metabones speedbooster. Its only a matter of time in competitive market right? They can't be the only ones.

Speed Booster is patent pending... but note that only the electronic version is priced at $599. The manual focus versions are priced significantly cheaper at $399 for most mounts and $449 for Nikon G w/aperture ring.
