You need an adapter. They best are from Sony. LA EA 1 or LA EA 2 from SONY.

No it will not work with NEX models - Adapter is required - sony LA-EA1 should go well - but again check before you buy.

You can use A-mount lenses like this one on your NEX camera with an adapter. The Sony LAEA1 adapter will work but it is my understanding that auto-focus does not work with the LAEA1 adapter. Though when I read some of the reviews some say it does auto-focus but it is painfully slow. So you'd probably have to manual focus with this lens and the LAEA1 adapter on the NEX cameras. There is also the LAEA2 adapter which allows the lens to auto-focus on the NEX camera by having the translucent mirror in the adapter. You'd probably just be better off just getting the SEL 35mm 1.8 lens or SEL 30mm 3.5 lens.

You're out of luck --- here's a page from Sony that lists adapters (at bottom of the page for NEX) --- unfortunately I think the NEX 6/7 are referred to as the first Alpha type camera....so the NEX-3/5 items don't work. But it appears that the 6/7 have a much wider variety of flashes than the strange/proprietary mounts on the 3/5. http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/support-info.pl?info_id=634&mdl=SLTA58

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.

I am not sure but I had used it in my SONY NEX-5N with an cannon-to-sony adapter and it worked just perfect! Maybe you should check if there's any adapter available.

The one I own is the proprietary shoe for Sony, so I needed an adapter to use on my nex 6. Didn't know this when I ordered either as Amazon said compatible with the nex6. Nice unit all the same.

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.

I think the J1 lens is an f-mount type lens with electronics for AF. If this adapter is an f-mount type, you should be able to use it. However AF will not work so everything will have to be in Manual mode. Also make sure to set your Sony Nex to Release w/o Lens.

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!

Yes. The Sony NEX series cameras can be used with nearly all camera lenses from every manufacturer.... with an adapter, which are easy to acquire. Google "Leica M to NEX adapter." However, using adapters typically limits you to manual control only - manual focus, manual aperture setting, no image stabilization, etc. Since Leica M lenses do not autofocus anyway, even on native Leica cameras, this may not be a concern to you.

I use an NEX 7 and it works fine. Ask your question on the dpreview forums where there is a lot of A7 talk.

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.
