Does this work with the new Nex3N? I noticed in the photo above that the viewfinder obstructs some of the buttons. Will it obstruct on the 3N?

i don't have the 3N, however a LCD viewfinder using a glued on magnetic frame will suit many different cameras.this one uses a tripod screw for attachment but you can find those who uses double sided adhesive.

I suppose the 3N uses the same screen size as the 5N that I am using. This frame just fit nicely on the frame of the screen and therefore will not obstruct any buttons beside it. I think your only possible consideration is that the frame is screw mounted to the tripod socket of the camera, therefore you cannot tilt or move the LCD anymore once fitted. Another option is to get those viewfinder without the screw mount which uses double sided tape to mount the frame on the screen. The disadvantage is the frame may fall off easily unless the adhesive is super strong.

I have the Nex 5n and it work with that, I have used it on very sunny days outside, I am not sure how different the body is in the 3n vs the 5n

I have this on a NEX-7, which is just about the same. I got it because outside shots on a bright day, the screen can't be seen. This viewfinder works fine in terms of seeing the shot you are about to take. The downside is that the magnets do not hold to the camera well, and it continually falls off. I work in Real Estate, so for I don't usually carry the viewfinder, except when I am going to do an exterior shot of a home. If you were planning on using it all the time, it may not meet you expectations. It was worth the price to me.

I was curious since I have never tried that before. I just tried it and with the additional brackets that come with it I was able to position the viewfinder directly in front of my eye perfectly. That was tested with a Canon T3i. Your results may vary depending on camera, etc but it worked perfect for me.

I don't think it works on anything, the unit works fine between the transmitter and deceived when I tested it but my NEX5n would not recognize there was a flash attached to the hotshoe so the flash mode was totally useless. Your camera could be totally different so this a complete crapshoot. So try it, if it works good for you, if not, send it back. It was a total chance on my part because the reviews were pretty bad.

I have a 60d and it works great on mine and has 2 different connectors...I believe they are the n3 and headphone style...I love mine and use it a lot.

Hi Liezl, yes, this lens is compatible with the Sony NEX3N camera. You won't need an adapter. Thanks_Mitch

Have used this LCD Screen Viewfinder with my Canon Mark3 for almost a year now. It doesn't clip the screen and serves the purpose. You won't be disappointed. Good luck. Gene D. Scottsdale,AZ

If I'm not mistaken I have already answered this question sometime ago: If the NEX 3 model has an accessory shoe, I'm inclined to think that it functions as perfectly as it does with my Alpha 100.

I couldn't get a response from anyone on this topic so I just went ahead and bought the sel55210 lens a couple weeks ago. Like you said, it attaches with no problems, however, with my nex-3 it seems to work just fine. I can't say that I have used the camera all that much with the new lens so there could be some subtle problems that I haven't encountered yet but mine definitely does take pictures. It also doesn't seem to have any problems using any of the default shoot modes and it auto focuses just fine. Have you tried updating your camera's software? There might be something with the initial release of the software that doesn't allow this lens to work.

The model I have 40M is for the NEX-5 and will not work for the NEX-3. There is a model for the NEX-3.

Will not work on the NEX-7. It uses the tripod mount and the NEX-7 is in the wrong location. Anyway I use the electronic viewfinder which is on my NEX-7.

Thanks for posting your question, As per the product description, this will not work with the nex 3N- this adapter is only compatible with these Sony models: NEX-3 NEX-5 NEX-C3 NEX-5N NEX-F3 NEX-5R I hope this helps!

Only if the screen is the same size. I have a Sony NEX 5R. Works fine but I have ordered other items that said works with Sony New cameras and did not fit! Was off ever so slightly but would not fit. Above product is good option for no viewfinder and very bright conditions.

I use the same wireless "Sony" remote that I used on my NEX5N and the NEX7 and now the a7r. I love it. It cant see the infra red from behind, but it can be fired even to the side. Don't buy the junk remotes. I am still on the same wafer battery that came with it, after three years of plenty of use. The remote is very small even with all the buttons. I have also taken pictures from 40ft. away with it.

This is made to work with the old screw mount Pentax-type lenses on the Sony Nex camera. You screw the old lens into the adapter and then mount the adapter onto the NEX camera. You will lose the auto focusing feature, but the viewfinder will show when the lens is in focus as you manually focus it. You must also take the lens off the "auto" setting, and manually select the f-stop, but the camera will select the proper shutter speed for you, so it's kind of like having auto-exposure.

I am not totally sure anout the NEX 3 but I had to also buy the Sony NEX Mount Adaptor with Translucent Mirror Technology. This is an "A" mount lens and my camera is an "E" mount. There may be a cheaper adaptor but the lens wont fit with out it.

You can use a radio trigger for the NEX3... does not work with the a7r as due to sony´s not willing to ad a Multi-Terminal adapter-cable with an 2.5mm Jack to remote-trigger the camera with everything on the market. Vice-Versa; remote triggering external studio flashes. But I guess the NEX3 has the other plug of these images,is that right? I know there is an option out there to use a radio trigger. These always work instantly. as a cable would be added.
