Am I correct in saying that this seems like quite a good way to use Nikon lenses on the Sony NEX? Especially as modern Nikon lenses don't allow aperture control on the lens (so you have to first put the lens on a Nikon body to adjust aperture).
The tilt shift feature of the adaptor is just an extra bonus really.
@ElKuku9999 really depends on the user, if you are mainly shooting in P or Auto modes, don't care about manual video controls, the NEX5 is a killer camera, the PL2 is for the pro who is looking for a snap shot camera with manual controls, a traditional look in a small package. Image quality is very close and practically not distinguishable....but if the Sony would have exactly the same controls and features as the PL2 I would give it the edge, the LCD is def better on the Sony

hey mike, ive got this in nex mount for my NEX5 but thinking about getting a VG10 now.
do you know if the tilt transformer fits on the vg10 because i know there is a protrusion to the right of the mount.

Isn't this something that is easily replicatable in post/editing?

Hey sorry for the stupid question but what is a tilt lens for?

@NakedJKid by tilting the lens you can create/control blur, samples start at 1:06

@mike24p those samples are beautiful. I work more with video than stills, I bet some really nice results can be achieved with this method in video.

Which do you think is better? The NEX-5 or the E-PL2
