Hi,
I couldn't find any section for introducing myself so thought I'd do it here  . Recently bought an NEX 5R then discovered I could use old manual lenses with it. When researching which ones to buy I kept finding this site and found it a great resource so thought I'd join and share my experiences's with them.
So far I've bought
OM Zuiko 50mm f1.8
Mamaya Sekor 55mm f1.8
Helios 44M 58mm f2
Super Takumar 135mm 3.5
I also have coming in the post
Konica Hexanon AR f3.5/28mm
Hoya HMC 75-150mm F3.8

Good evening, lass (or is it laddie?),
Welcome! And, since you have a NEX,
when you have the time, take a look at
one of our German members' invention:
the VNEX system. You can't imagine how
much fun you will be able to have...
/hm: lousy spelling rectified! Sorry!/
