Can I use this on my Sony Nex 5n?

I am currently unaware of any adapter made that converts Micro 4/3 to Sony's E mount. There are however at least a couple that converts in the opposite direction. One by Fotasy and the other by Fotodiox. But none that will help you to get a MFT lens on a Sony Camera. That is not to say that one won't ever be made.

Does that camera have a Micro FourThirds mount? I don't believe it does but I'm not sure. This lens will only work on cameras with that mount such as the Panasonic GH series of cameras or the blackmagic pocket camera.

I use a Sony alpha and that is the mount available. There is an adapter availabile for the NEx mounts. Check with Sony.

I'm using it with the NEX5n, but based on your dimensions and looking at the camera online... I would say it would be a VERY tight fit. Your camera is bigger (taller and deeper) compared to the NEX7 when looked at on versus dot com. The Viewfinder would push and stretch the case up and the length of the lens would make it difficult to close. You might like having the extra room of the Case Logic SHC-101-BK, which is made for small DSLRs.

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 used with a Sony alpha 55 and the menu has a selection for using with a remote device so I set it to on and everything worked fine. Afraid I cannot help you with the NEX-5N.

Hi, I have a NEX 5N. It fits like a glove with the 18-55 and the flash installed. i dont use the strap it came with because i just leafe the one that came with the camera on. that way the strap is connected to the camera and not the case just in case it opens by accident.

If it will share lenses with a NEX-5, then yes! There are some adjustments you'll have to make with the settings but there are instructions that come with the bundle, no problem.

Yes, it will allow those lenses to be mounted on an NEX-5n. However, you need to be aware that it does not make any electrical contact between the body and lens. Newer "focus by wire" lenses will not work as they need power from the camera to focus. If the focus ring on your lenses has stops at either end of travel, you will be able to focus using this adapter. If the focus ring on your lenses will turn indefinitely in the same direction then the lenses are focus-by-wire and you will not be able to use this adapter.

I don't think so Andrew.This must be specific to the Nex 5 because the magnetic frame is held by the bottom screw. You can find viewfinders where the magnetic frame is glued instead to your LCD screen. These will work on lots of different cameras.

As far as I know the frame dimensions and associated button/lever locations and dimensions are the same on the Nex-3 and 3N. It will not, however, work on a Nex-5N, which I have and inadvertantly ordered the Nex-3N case for! Duh. I re-ordered the 5N case and it is fantastic!

The answer is "Yes", but avoid it anyway. I bought this adapter to use my favorite Nikon lens on my Nex 5. I ignored the warnings on this site that it's impossible to remove the lens from the adapter without damaging the lens! As a result, my favorite Nikon lens became a permanent Nex lens. I don't mind because I no longer used my Nikon cameras -- but if you want to ever take the adapter off and use your lens on your Nikon, forget it -- it's NOT coming off, period. There are better adapters, trust me. Do NOT buy this one.

Hi JaPaK, this Sony SEL16F28 E-mount lens will work on your NEX-5N and will work properly when shooting those interiors and rentals. Having a wide angle lens will capture most of your subject. -Ely

I use this adapter on my NEX7 with a Minolta 50mm 1.4 and it works great. The problem is the camera doesn't recognize that a lens is attached. There is a setting to override this. On the NEX5n I don't know where it is, but it is there. Have fun.

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

I'm sorry, I really don't know. I bought it to use on my new Sony NEX 6 and it works very well, but I did have to purchase and adapter to make it fit.

Yes. It works with a Sony Nex 5. But as I said, it worked but not for a long time. Other reviewers have the same problem.
