I ordered from Japan the rare and unusual MS Perar 35mm f3.5 triplet m-mount lens to use on my NEX5N.
I would have bought this lens for any of the following reasons -- it\'s possibly the smallest full frame lens ever, it\'s historically interesting, it\'s optically interesting with only three elements, it\'s handmade, it\'s different and fun to use. With ALL these reasons, I couldn\'t whip my credit card out fast enough.
Anyway, here it is on the NEX5N. The large knurled ring is part of the Hawk adapter, and the smaller knurled ring is where the tiny lens begins. If you can believe it, the lens has its tiny hood on in these pictures.
I find the images have a crystaline quality similar to that associated with no AA filter cameras. I can\'t wait to try this on a non-AA filter Fuji XPro1 and see what we get!
Here are few \"arty shots\" taken from a recent trip to Carmel & Monterey California.

And here are a few snapshots from the same trip:
even a panorama. It\'s amazing to me that the NEX does this with legacy lenses.
