As you know SLRmagic launched a new [shoplink 3514]35mm f/1.7 lens with E-mount[/shoplink]. This lens works without adapter and has been designed for NEX cameras. Cris (from Australis) posted some image samples inside the dpreview forum: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1042&thread=36262990
The lens does cost less than $100 [shoplink 3514]on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink]!
Imagine how it would be to use a [shoplink 3874]$6,550.00 lens[/shoplink] on you NEX camera! Yes such an expensive lens does really exist and of course it is a Leica ;)
Darren Chan posted some image samples on flickr taken with the NEX-5 and the Noctilux. Some other image samples have been also posted on SonyAlphaNex. That’s almost all you can find on the web, not many user are going to buy that lens to use it on the Sony camera! Check out the [shoplink 3874]Noctilux auctions on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink] to see how much that lens costs. If you need a very fast lens for your camera I suggest you to wait for our next post where we will show you “cheaper” alternatives!
P.S.: You can use Leica lenses only [shoplink 3491]via M-mount to E-mount adapter[/shoplink]

Asia CNET had the chance to hold the new Sony Zeiss 24mm f/2.0 lens: “Although the lens we got is a pre-production unit, we were impressed by the smooth and precise focusing it offered.” Read more: http://asia.cnet.com/crave/2010/08/30/hands-on-with-sony-s-new-24mm-carl-zeiss-lens/

Eisa (The European Imaging and Sound Association) has choosen the [shoplink 3003]Sony NEX-5[/shoplink] as best mirrorless camera 2010-2011. I believe nobody here will disagree with that decision :)
In the meanwhile one of our prefered websites Kurtmunger.com tested the NEX cameras (and compared the NEX-5 with the A700). Also Amateur Photographer posted a NEX-5 review.
As you know we started a new SonyAlphaRumors section. Many manufactors are building more and more adapters for E-mount cameras. And we want to see how those third-party lenses do work on our NEX cameras! I would be happy if you send me your images taken with third party lenses and also some nice cameraporn pictures :)
Today we show you the Voigländer 35mm and 40mm f/1.4 lenses. They are both M-mount lenses so you need to use [shoplink 3491]the Leica M-mount to E-mount adapter (just click here to check out the whole list of available adapters on eBay)[/shoplink]

Image samples are available at Flickr.
