  2. Great, thats just what I've been looking for. Did you replace the Filter? Did you have any issues with the auto focus? Can you tell me what size the built-in filter has?
    I realy hope you can give me a few answers.
    Many thanks!

  3. Was wondering if someone can put a NEX 5's innards inside an old film camera like what someone did with a cybershot... that would be too cool. a digital camera with APS-C sensor and interchangeable lenses on an old Leica (or Zorki) film camera...

  4. @Franz Hopefully the Fuji X100 influences Sony and we can see a NEX equivalent of a digital Minolta CLE.

  5. Thanks for this great article!

    Have you done a replacement of the original IR-AA filter? Clear glas or maybe an UVI filter?
