Yeesh, what horrible timing, that is a tough post to follow Phillip.
Just a humble prickly pear bloom, with the 16-50 on the NEX6, trying to get a sense of how the lens performs. I love the DR of the camera, but I feel the lenses leave a little something to be desired in less than very good light. Also, learning Gimp, so, not the best conversion maybe.
Phillip - nice shots with the Minolta AF Glass.I like the shot of the berries with the corresponding bokeh.
How do you like using the LEA1 adapter?

Meanwhile back in town away from the beautiful landscapes here is an alley shot taken with Nex 5n and CV21 f/4. I like this lens more every time I use it.

It is a first generation AG lens, so build quality is great but the focus ring is quite small but it is okay to handle. i think about getting a LA-EA2 so i could use AF.
An annoying detail about the adapter is, that the camera operates the lens wide open and only stops down the moment when i release the shutter. Stopping down is rather noisy and i experience a shutterlag.

Phillip if you only wanted to manual focus, you could also get a cheap third-party alpha-mount/NEX adapter, which would mechanically control the aperture. Then it would operate stopped down with no lag. Of course, you'd lose click stops and EXIF.
