This looks like it could be a winner. If Metabones can make adapters for the NX mount, then it will be even more popular. The biggest draw of the Sony E-mount is the versatility – literally can adapt for any lens format, and more often than not, retain focus and aperture control (even with EF lenses).
Would be curious how well that electronic viewfinder works and what the base ISO is – Sony apparently is a base ISO of 2000 which is why their low-light performance is so great.
Ooooooo……want one !!……..great size for my big hands, with terrific ergonomics, & chunky
handgrip.
My NX20 turns out some very high IQ……so this beauty should out perform it ?????
Look forward to seeing an in depth review !!!!!!!!!!!
