NEX accessories Lens adapters etc..

Okay guys I did the search and there isn't really a thread dedicated to the Nex cameras and I know there are a few of you that have Nex cameras.

Lens adapters which ones would you recommend? I'm looking for a Nikon G adapter.

Anyone successfully bought anything locally?

There are quite a few small bags coming out. Nikon's 1 series bag is a very nice fit for the Nex cameras with enough pockets for some extra accessories.

I don't know of anyone selling nex adapters locally. Best bet is ebay. They're pretty simple and they basically just involve a step up adapter. None of the lens electronics will work.

I use a crumpler 1 million dollar home for mine.

I use the NEX-VG10. I haven't found a local dealer that sells adapters for the NEX-series. You're going to have to look either at BHP or eBay for 'em. They're fairly cheap, so at least that aspect isn't too bad. As Mikroft said, the electronics in the other lenses wont work. The only "official" adapters are the LAEA1 and 2, but those are just for Sony's A-mount lenses.

Are the aperature adjustment on these adapters any good? The Canon ones are garbage. Conurus makes an awesome one for Canon that actually controls the aperature on the lens itself. Tempted to get the LA-EA2 and get some Minolta lenses.
