my thoughts after i used it a bit more in the last days:
The Eg-S sreen is a real help
metering is pain compared to the nex. If i use my Minolta 58/1.2 @f1.2 or f2.0 i have to compensate about -5/3EV, stopped down its up tp +1EV.
WB also, auto is quite unreliable and for a manual WB i have to take a picture of a white wall, dive into the menu and set the camera to manual WB. With the nex i select manual WB, point it to a small white/grey object, expose and i am done.
Colors with the Minolta are awesome! It is an entirely new lens for me and balances really well on the 5dII.
The dynamic range is sufficient most of the time but needs more attention.
