I have the NEX 5 and a whole bunch of Nikon lenses. I tried a number but found that not only was the IQ not as good as what I got with say on a D300, you just look stupid.
Once you put on the F-mount adapter the whole system becomes unbalanced.
Now I know that looks aren't everything but if I have a choice of looking OK/cool/professional or looking stupid I would much prefer the former.
As a side note, I've found that native CX lenses on the 1 system outperform F-mount lenses on them.
So, in short use Sony lenses on Sony cameras and F-mount lenses on Nikon cameras.
As for selling lenses, if you don't need the cash why not just keep them?
