No I can't.I have bought that adapter.As Zorba the Greek said "a full catastrophy".
The aperture mechanism is build around a kind of diaphragm that protrudes concentrically into the adapter limiting it's "patent" diameter by approximately 50%,decreasing amount of light by 1-2 EV and causing vignetting even wide opened depending on the lens.Stop it further and you get dark corners.
I have tried it with my Zeiss ZE and Canon L lenses.It seems that it was "optimized" for 50mm focal lenght - with 50ZE you can go up to f8 without nasty corner darkening.As for my other ZE lenses it was as follows:
with 100ZE MP the adapter vignettes heavily wide opened
with 28ZE can be stopped to f2.8
with 21ZE can be stopped to f4
Canon L lenses:
24-105IS,70-200/4 L IS,135/2L,100/2.8 Macro L IS - dark corners wide opened.The same with Sigma 150/2.8 Apo Macro HSM.
I resell it quickly.So still no way to use ZE lenses with NEX other than fully opened.

That first shot is technically better than the second, but wow... love the subtle tones her dress, skin, and sand in the second. The light and oof areas are beautiful too!

I like the aerial shots, I keep wonder what (and where) this is? Looks like a perfect circle drawn around that structure. Alien architecture?
thanks! it's somewhere between denver and san francisco, i don't remember how far along we were when i took the shot. if it was egypt i'd say evidence of alien interference with the ancients, since it's not all say farmland.
Low light portrait with the CV 40 1.4 wide open at ISO3200. The OOF highlights are a little squirrelly, but I still like the overall look, and its sharp enough. I actually probably sacrificed some detail in the B/W conversion for aesthetic considerations. http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6221/6428228667_201e024de5_b_d.jpg
