Tariq, I have used numerous DSLRs, including smaller crops, like Canon 550D and 600D. The bulk and weight difference between it with good glass and a NEX 7 plus RF is glaringly obvious. If you stretch that to multiple lenses, the difference only gets larger. That, unlike our preferences or priorities, is not personal or subjective. It is a fact. The only way you can get a DSLR to be compact is to use compact lenses, like Pentax pancakes, or Canon 35mm f:2.0, but then the shooting experience and IQ are not the same as 5D II plus Zeiss
I totally agree what you write above but I was not referring to NEX-7 + rangefinder lenses, nor was the post I was addressing. I was simply suggesting that NEX-7 + thick adapter for SLR wide lenses + larger SLR lenses seriously eats into the small/ compact advantage supposedly gained with going to the NEX in the first place. Those SLR NEX adapters are quite thick in length. The Leica R and Contax NEX adapters I have are around the same length as many rangefinder lenses alone. Attach one of these to the NEX and then add an SLR wide and you have a very long appendage on the front, probably not so much shorter than the same lens attached to a DSLR.
