Anyone got any tips?

Hi All, I bought a 'Nikon f ai ais to nex' adapter to use a micro nikkor 55mm 3.5 lens but the lens wont twist off from the adapter. Anyone had this problem or know how I can get it loose? I'm sure this is the correct adapter albeit a cheap eBay one. Thanks.

Thanks G. I guess that extra function is no use to me so I'll go for the AEJ version, which is cheaper and more of them about. Mo.

Hi Guys, Are there any owners of the above lens? I'm looking to get one for my Sony Nex 5N, but notice there are two versions around, the 'AEJ' and 'MMJ'. What are the differences between these two, apart from the price. Optically are they both identical? Thanks. Mo.

Out of curiousity, when you say Contax Carl Zeiss range, which do you mean goes well with the Nex? I see Planar, Distagon etc, which of these would be 'the one' to have on the Nex? Other than the Nikkors you listed above, what else have you used with the nex which was good? How do you rate...

I know what you mean, but generally I have never had this problem in the past so I should think those lenses would be ok. This would only be the start of my collection mind you ;). I'm sure there will be more to come. Just thought I'd start with these.

You're right. I'm looking at getting a 24mm 2.8 for my architecture landscape shots to maximise what I can get in the picture and then a 55/50mm with a macro extension tube for close up shots. For me being real close is not a problem as I only tend to shoot still scaled models of buildings etc...

How much difference was there between the NIKKOR 24mm/2.8 and the 28mm/2? Obviously the latter was a faster lens but were there any huge differences?

Just looking at the Carl zeiss and I think they're out of my budget. They are quite expensive! I think I will have to stick with the nikkor for now.

Thanks for the tips MF-g. I will have a look about for one of those. Which sort is best to go for for what I want to use it for?

Something like this? Bit expensive. But I wouldn't mind because I do want to get a quality lens for the nex. At the same time I still want to be able to use it to close up photography. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=200757792879&kw=200757792879 Being a 28mm was that...

Thanks for that red. I will get the adapter after I have successfully acquired the lens. Just wanted to hear peoples thoughts on it.

Anyone?

Hi All, I want to get some lenses for my nex to have a play with and like the nikkor 55mm macro lens coupled with a extension tube to allow close up shots. I got a hold of a Olympus zuiko 50mm prime and am enjoying the whole manual focus control. Does anyone have this lens on their nex or...

Thanks for confirming that unique_monkey. On another note, what lens are you using with your 5n? I just bought a Olympus zuiko 50mm 1.8 off eBay, still waiting for delivery. Looking forward to exploring with some lens.
