Thread: m4/3 lens on sony NEX ?

Do you know if it is possible to use, with adaptor, m4/3 lens on nex-5 ?
Thanks

I'm afraid that this will not work.

The flange back (distance from lens mount to sensor) of the Sony NEX is 18 mm, MFT is about 20 mm AFAIK.
Thus there is no place for an adapter...

The only way to adapt a MFT lens to Sony NEX would be an adapter with optical elements which would reduce the image quality.

In theory itn is possible because the M4/3 bayonett has a smaller diameter than the Sony mount and the register of M4/3, means distange lens flange to sensor, is over 1 mm longer.
But I don´t understand the reason why you asking for an adapter like this? The image circle for M4/3 lenses is to small for NEX, you get dark corners!!! Another problem ist that you need the electronic connection, without your M4/3 lens will not do anything, no AF, no aperture moving.
When you want to use any MF lenses is is the much better choice to use a direct adapter between the wanted lens and the NEX bayonett.

so, m42 lenses can be used on NEX ? =)
