Does this lens work on a NEX5?, the first one, with no letter at the end of the name. Is this a worthy addition to the 18-50 Kit lens?

Yes, it will work great with NEX5. This lens is an E-mount lens, whereas your camera is an E-mount body type. -Ely

the sal18135 is an A mount lens, and the Sony nex 6 takes an E mount lens.So the answer is noYou can buy an adapter to use A mount lenses on the E mount cameras, it is rather expensive by my way of thinkingYou are better off looking for an E mount lens

Hi! NEX-7 cameras uses E-mount lenses (e.g. SEL1855) in which if you have an A-mount lens (SAL1855) you needed an adaptor to make it work. You may use the Sony A-mount to E mount lens adaptor (LA-EA) and currently there are 4 available varieties for this adaptor. You may check on the link below for a detailed information that will suit your preferences. Hope this helps.

Yup. Autofocus works with my nex-6. With the extension, the focus range is only a few inches deep. As long as your subject is in that range autofocus would work fine.

Put the lens on a NEX body, go to Version in the Setup menu, and see if it reads .02. If so it came from a fresh batch from Sony with the current firmware. If not, the lens currently has to go back to Sony for a firmware update.Hope that helps. . .

The adapter provides no electrical connection between the camera and the lens - the camera really thinks there's no lens attached! I have a Sony NEX-6, and I solved the problem (with help from another customer) by going to the camera's menu, selecting "Setup", then scrolling until I found "Release w/o Lens". Click on that option to enable it, and the camera will shoot. Of course, with the adapter there's no autofocus or aperture control - you have to do those on your own. But it works fine!

I use this lens with the NEX7, and it has become my most used lens. Some slight distortion on close ups but very predictable and does not mar the great quality shots. This is an extension lens, you can only use it with the basic wide angle. Together they make a very good flexible combination, and this clips on and off in seconds.

The camera came with they call a "kit" lens. I purchased a 50mm lens additionally. I haven't even used the kit lens yet, because I was really longing for the 50mm! I should probably try it out. I'm pleased with my older model, used camera - don't know why I didn't think of it sooner!

Yes, I use it on my NEX-6 and I love it. It is my go to lens for video and the only lens I now carry on a daily basis.

I have the NEX 5 with those lenses, and the extension tubes work perfectly. NEX 6 should be no different.

I have 18-55mm and 55-210mm E-mount lenses for my NEX 7 and they work fine. I believe they would work for any of the E-mount lenses. They are plastic, and with the long lenses seem slightly wobbly, but the auto focus and other electronics seem to work just fine.

I only know that it did not work with my Nex 20, sony. My mentor had to drill holes in it to make it fit. You may want to call a big photo shop in NY and ask them, or ask 47th Street Photo. Good luck!

I am in the same expertise level as it sounds you are. I have the Nex5, which came with the standard lenses and have used it for the past 2 years. Recently I purchased the E 55 210mm and am so glad I did, gives great zoom and easy snap in and out to exchange lenses. For under $400 its well worth it! Good luck.

Have tried to use adapter with Sony nex5. Purchased the Nikon adapter and even though lenses connect OK the nex 5 keeps saying put lens on correctly. tried the only way it can go and nothing seems to change it. help.

I've used it on the Nex 6 and focus peaking as well as release shutter without lens works just fine. Best bet is to use aperture priority mode.

No. It's not. It comes with a kinda adapter that doesnt fit. Dont buy it for Sony NEX lenses.

Hi, i honestly do not know, as I'm not familiar with all of the Sony line. But this lens is slated to fit the NEX series, so I my guess would be that it does. Perhaps, you could check with the Sony website and see if they have a customer support email address... Good luck.
