Anyone here using a Pentax-M 20/4.0 on nex?
I've been looking for a compact wide-ish lens and have given up on rangefinders because the wides seems to have issues on NEX.

I've heard that is good on aps-c, but I've never used one. You may want to just wait to see what happens with the Sony/Zeiss 24, because the Pentax doesn't look cheap, from what I've seen.
I almost wonder if the old paint inside the canon barrels helps to cause that. Mine has been CLA'd and the tech cleaned the areas with paint flakes, leaving semi- light splotches here and there in the barrel. Glass is good, besides small marks on front element.

A couple more with the Contax G 90mm. The pijun is an almost 100% crop. Wish I had had the helical adapter...
Yeah, unfortunately, the helical adapter only works with M lenses. I wonder if someone could design a helical that works with G lenses and just bypasses the internal focus all together?
how is it that you guys focus so fast on moving objects with non sony lenses? i find it difficult enough with the zm 35mm for still subjects. any thoughts? suggestions?
Ooops, my bad! Thanks to sebboh and apologies to Mark!
Regarding the Contax G 35-70, Bo-Ming, a learned member of this board (he does all the N to EOS conversions), claims that it simply won't fit a NEX IIRC. I would be weary of going against that statement...
