Sony NEX Micro Four Thirds Lens Adapter

sony nex e-mount micro 4/3 lens adapter olympus panasonic

Sony NEX-5 with the Panasonic 14-45 micro 4/3 lens


Here's a new adapter for the Sony NEX E-mount. It's the micro 4/3 lens adapter for the Sony NEX cameras. We are not sure if the image circle will cover the larger APS-C sensor found in the NEX. Unfortunately the eBay listing does not provide sample photos.

Now lets imagine that it does provide a large enough image for the NEX - wouldn't you want to use the new Voigtlander 25mm f/0.95 Nokton on the NEX for a low light 37.5mm equivalent lens?

    I would love to use the samsung 30 mm lens, or the panasonic micro 4/3 20mm f1.7. Is there an adapter for the Samsung, and does anyone know whether this 4/3ds adapter works on the Sony nex 5? It seems that physically small pancakes are a great way to complement the compact body.I hope Sony do an e mount 28mm or so in a really compact size!

    Sony really needs to address the issue of crappy native E mount lenses. No doubt the cameras were targetted at the casual user, but now it seems the nex has a wider appeal :)
    I do hope Zeiss or the other specialists lens manufacturers fill the gap! At Sony's loss of course, if they continue to ignore us serious shooters :)

    Adapter don't work, or at least I cannot make it work. So build a mount instead.

    Bought an adapter branded "Leinox" that does not work as well. No infinite focussing possible. Seems to use a flange back distance of 20mm which seems too large.

    Adapting the SLR Magic HyperPrime 12mm/F1.6 is interesting as well.

    Does anyone know a working adapter?

How To Install OpenMemories AppStore

OpenMemories App Shown on Camera's Application Tab DHI Enterprises shows us how to install a third party application for Sony Cameras which support the PlayMemories Camera Apps. The third party OpenMemories AppStore can now be installed using the same method shown. WARNING from the OpenMemories AppStore developer: Is it safe? This is an experiment in a very early stage. All information has been found through reverse engineering. Even though everything worked fine for our developers, it could cause harm to your hardware. If you break your camera, you get to keep both pieces. We won't take any responsibility. However, this seems to be safer than tampering with your camera firmware directly. We're just interacting with the isolated Android subsystem. Apps you install this way can be uninstalled in the applications manager. In the worst case, a factory reset of the camera clears all data on the Android partitions. How To Install OpenMemories AppStore on your Sony C...
