We are testing Leica M and some Alpha lenses on NEX but it really needs to stop there.
I can surely understand that some individuals would be excited about FD lens tests but the majority is certainly not.
The access statistics to "exotic" tests clearly show this.

That's disappointing to hear, Klaus. I just acquired a NEX-7 and I an now looking for good lenses for this camera, which, as you have indicated, puts greater demands on a lens than other cameras. I am not likely ever going to be in a position to buy Leica M lenses so I was hoping that this site would be reviewing some lenses other than just Sony or Leica on the NEX-7. What about all the Zeiss lenses in Canon or Nikon mounts? Those are not exotic combinations. I have tried an old Nikon Auto-s 50mm f/1.4 lens, but the bokeh is disappointing. The ability to use legacy lenses on the NEX-7 was one of the main reasons for switching from the D700.
I REALLY do hope you will reconsider your plan only to test Leica and Sony Alpha lenses on the NEX-7 camera. I do not know of any other place where we might have a chance of seeing tests a ranges of lenses on the NEX-7 and I very much doubt that I am the only NEX-7 user who is looking for this information.
