Russel,



You started with "And Photozone has shown some interest in pointing out compact lenses for the Nex, like the quite expensive Leica-type rangefinder lenses."



And that is the point of others.... the lenses Klaus has tested on the NEX are NOT of SLR 135 format character. They sit CLOSE to the body, and they make sense that way.



Now you propose to test a Nikon F-mount (135 format SLR lens) because it is so small (pancake).

But that is exactly what does not make sense. It stops being small on NEX because it needs a big fat adapter, making its big plus... disappear.



And that is a very simple and evident point.



Besides that, the Nikon has been out of production for ages, and is hardly to be found easily in the 2nd hand marker.



So, there are two reasons to wonder why Klaus "should" test it on NEX.... it is NOT compact on NEX, and it is hardly a lens one can purchase.
