I personally prefer the built quality of the Voigtlander VM adapter (Made in Japan). Take a look at Chiif Cameras and you would probably appreciate what I meant.

Hmm... I thought all this time adapter is for connecting the lens to body only. since no chip (AF confirm) technology for NEX yet. Is it affecting the image?

Hi Jeff, i think we met that day at Chiif's place, when you considering to get the Silver or the Black Adapter, or 35mm SC or 40mm MC.. Nice Shots!! I hope you re not regretting with the build of VC adapter
Cheers!!!
Hi bro, good to see you here. Thanks for the advice that day. No regret at all with both the Nokton 40/1.4 and Voigtlander VM adapter. They are almost permanently mounted on my NEX-5 now.

Good to see you too, I am Fred btw...i see you didnt get the B+W filter yet? Thinking to get the Hood too? (hahaha just personal preference to have a hood on the lens).
Well, hope you'll be joining the Rangefinder user group too.

You can get cheap M to NEX adaptor at eBay for merely SGD 30.

The built quality is different. You can try out RJ adapters and VM ones at Chiif. See and feel the difference in the make.
If you want cheap adapters and hood, go to HongKong, Kowloon, SIM city building. It's like camera heaven. Plus you can try them out.

Remember to get lens with the adapter too! Hehehe.
Search on flickr for the pictures taken with this combination to decide.

Hopefully, a good night sleep will take the virus away.......

Agreed with you on this one. I'm also using a Voigtlander adapter for my NEX-5 but for F-mount lenses. Personally, I find that the built quality of the Voigtlander adapter is better than the RJ adapter.

Yes. Search for M to NEX adaptor.

Yes. I agree with u. I tried before the VC adaptor. Quality cannot fight.
You can't compare a $30 adaptor with a VC adaptor mah. The $30 adaptor is another alternative for those wanted to try out M lenses but not prepared to pump so much on the adaptor.
