Sony NEX-5 lens adapter shot with a bloggie touch

I had a question about the adapter I showed in one of my videos so I'll try to answer it here.
I also had a question on manual focusing so I'll try to include that also, I wish I was more of a expert on this stuff but if what little bit of info I have to offer helps someone then Im happy.
Ive had this camera for 4 days and am having a blast with it.
Also I shot this video with a sony bloggie touch to test the bloggie's quality on youtube.

The lens adapter only says "Nikon G - NEX" there is no name brand on it. if you search ebay search Sony NEX nikon adapter and they pop up, you can add the letter G in the search for the G lens if thet is the lens you have to narrow the search

Hi thanks for the helpful video! and hey, just to clarify.. you are using the 14.2mp version of NEX5, and not the NEX-5N right? So you must be using the firmware ver 4, to have the peaking feature? I am about to buy this camera but just to be on the safe side, I want to know whether updating to ver 4 will still have the ver 3 feature of aperture control? (I guess it will be there since you use it in your video) I hope you can clear my doubts, thank you very much!

@teja89max On the sony nex-5 you can control the aperture for pictures but video you cant, it basically is on auto during video. The nex-5n and nex-7 they say it has video control like the panasonic gh2 (I think thats the one they compared it to) but the nex-5 old and new firmware wont control the aperture during filming, it just jumps to auto so controlling depth of field is hard. I suggest getting the nex-5N if you have not purchased one yet, its much better

@eviltig Oh thank you very much! But I will mostly be using MANUAL only lenses since I need it only for professional work :) just like you do in this video.. So I wouldn't need any kind of autofocus lenses.. So I can just use the old NEX-5 with old lenses managing the aperture and focus by rings on the lens right? I am on a very limited budget so shall I go with the old NEX5?

@teja89max If you use manual lenses it will work fine then. Thats what i do and Im getting great results and very happy with it.

[teja89max]

@eviltig Great! Thanks for your assurance.. I will go with NEX-5 and all those old classics out there!
