How do I use it with my nex 5 and what else do I need?

This is made to work with the old screw mount Pentax-type lenses on the Sony Nex camera. You screw the old lens into the adapter and then mount the adapter onto the NEX camera. You will lose the auto focusing feature, but the viewfinder will show when the lens is in focus as you manually focus it. You must also take the lens off the "auto" setting, and manually select the f-stop, but the camera will select the proper shutter speed for you, so it's kind of like having auto-exposure.

This mounts directly onto the camera like any lens would. The only other thing you need is a lens with an M42 mount. When using this (or any) lens adapter with the NEX, you will also need to change one setting on the camera. Go to "Setup" and find "Release w/o Lens". This will tell the NEX to allow the shutter to open when it doesn't detect the lens. Most lens converters are like this one and don't have any electronics. They simply allow you to put a lens over the sensor. Because of that, you need to tell the camera to allow you to do that - which is what that setting does. Hope that helps!

No, you need a lens adapter ring. Like this one: C Mount Lens Adapter Ring for NEX-5N NEX-5 NEX-3 NEX-7 Camera

I have a NEX-7 so guess they are similar. I have to go into the Drive mode in the Camera menu and set it to the IR commander mode. My guess is that you have to go into one of your camera's menus and program it to accept the IR Commander. Your user manual should tell you what you have to do. Or a nearby camera shop could also help. Hope this helped.

Be sure you have gone to the Function button, go to Drive Mode, scroll down to "Remote Cdr." and push the select button to engage the Wireless Remote. I have the Alpha 77 camera, but the NEX-5N may operate in a similar fashion. Also consult your manual for remote operation. Good luck.

Any adapter for NEX works with the a6000, they all are e-mount type including the newer a7 series with full size sensors.

I own an Alpha model. If the NEX has the same shoe it will NOT work. Do yourself a favor and buy a Sony. I did could not be happier. Youcan get some decent deals on Ebay.Harry

I have a NEX 5N and It works very well, I think so work it with NEX 3N also.

I would say no, it would not work with my NEX 3. Looks like only certain NEX 5 models will

You need to go to the Aputure Timer Camera Remote, and find if it works with your Sony Nex5. The catch is, if the connector fitting to trip the camera's shutter remotely is the correct connector for your camera, then it will work. Look at what cameras, are list to work with their model.

I used with a Sony alpha 55 and the menu has a selection for using with a remote device so I set it to on and everything worked fine. Afraid I cannot help you with the NEX-5N.

Hi Sebastian, you can use the lens with the NEX6 with the use of an adapter. Thanks_Mitch

I use a Sony alpha and that is the mount available. There is an adapter availabile for the NEx mounts. Check with Sony.

Since this lens has no electronics, it's normal for the camera to not recognize its presence. You need to go into the the setup menu of the camera and enable "Release w/o lens". This will allow you to use your NEX-7 with fully manual lenses like this one

Not sure if it will work, but I do know it works with my NEX3 ... if I use the lens I set the camera to work without a lens, then it works, just some automatic settings don't as it's a manual lens.

I would think so, as it works on my Nex5 & I think the lenses of those 2 cameras must be interchangeable. But I couldn't swear to it... Actually, I was thinking of the question from the perspective of the camera... not the lenses. I am not familiar w/ those lenses, so I stand by my resonse: "I couldn't swear to it..."

I believe all i had to do to get it to work was (on my nex6):-Enter the main menu screen-go to the 'setup' section-Scroll down to 'Release w/o Lens'-Set 'Release w/o Lens' to 'enable'Your camera will never recognise the lens as its a 3rd party-un-powered-manual lens so you have to enable the camera to operate like normal without a lens attached. If the shutter activates without a lens attached then you are good to go.Hope this helps. BB
