.How do you like using your adapter? How good is the AF?
-Jim
Firstly, thanks for your comment on my photo. It was a nice light. Secondly, about the adapter, I'd say that I think that it's useful mainly for the Sony 70-300 G, which I find an outstanding lens and I think that it's very useful as a birding lens when on a trip, if I only carry the NEX. The AF is very good, really quick and reliable. With the Zeiss I'm not so sure. It's too bulky as a walk around lens (meaning, too bulky considering that the NEX5N is too small and not particularly comfortable with such a big lens. It makes me feel that I should be carrying my A700, which makes the lens very balanced and pleasant to use), particularly when there are other options that are quite good, from primes to even the kit lens, which I find really good for what it is.
So, all in all, I would recommend the adapter, but not for a normal zoom, but for specialty options.
I hope I answered to your question.
