Is anybody using this with the Sony NEX camera? Was thinking it it would be good for NEX instead of the Optech DSLR Utility Sling.

I use this with a Sony NEX-6 for just that reason. The DSLR sling is too bulky - this one is perfect for the NEX series. You have to remove the triangular metal pieces attached to the loops in order to get this sling to fit, but then it's perfect.

Dear Rachelle, I have the same camera (NEX5) and it's needs, but I do not see the E-mount here. It means we (NEX-owners) are needing something like LAEA1 Mount Adaptor ;)

You're out of luck --- here's a page from Sony that lists adapters (at bottom of the page for NEX) --- unfortunately I think the NEX 6/7 are referred to as the first Alpha type camera....so the NEX-3/5 items don't work. But it appears that the 6/7 have a much wider variety of flashes than the strange/proprietary mounts on the 3/5.http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/support-info.pl?info_id=634&mdl;=SLTA58

The CP1 Strap is a bit too much strap for such a small form factor camera. Designed to mound on the bottom of DSLR to distribute the weight across shoulder. I can see where the mounting plate could cause the LCD to not open, So I would suggest replacing plate with BlackRapid RFH-1E0 (FR-T1). I use these on large cameras and lenses. I believe this would work perfectly with the sony.

Kimber... yes is possible, but this is not the right tool for this....the locker of the string is not so good and constantly you need push up to lock again.... a better option is this one http://www.amazon.com/DualGRIP-Stablilzer-Digital-Camera-Cameras/dp/B009RU0ITW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409163003&sr=8-1&keywords=sony+nex+5n+grip.

No. It's not. It comes with a kinda adapter that doesnt fit. Dont buy it for Sony NEX lenses.

If you go to OP/TECH USA's website, they have a feature by which you can determine which products are specific to your model (but then come back here to make your purchase...better shipping/handling and often lower price). I have a few of these soft pouches for use with different lenses/cameras etc. I believe this is the model I use with my Sony NEX 7 and the 18-200mm lens (the Sony is slightly smaller than a regular DSLR).

I have a NEX-5T and the view finder works just fine. I am able to do a better job of framing my shots that when looking at the screen. It is a bit pricey but I'm glad I got it.

It looks like the strap attachment points on your camera are large enough to allow the Op/tech connector string to pass through. The strap ought to work just fine. To help you get the string through, pass a strong thread, such as nylon, through the strap attachment point, then through the Op/tech connector, then back through the strap attachment point. It will give you a good grip, and pulling a string is easier than pushing. I recommend this product. It works great with my Sony RX100.

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 love this mount. It's a rock solid build and very sturdy after clicking in. I would not use the leash. I believe it's plenty secure enough. I do only have a sony nex, so maybe not quite as substantial a camera as yours.

I use this adapter on my NEX7 with a Minolta 50mm 1.4 and it works great. The problem is the camera doesn't recognize that a lens is attached. There is a setting to override this. On the NEX5n I don't know where it is, but it is there. Have fun.

Will not work on the NEX-7. It uses the tripod mount and the NEX-7 is in the wrong location. Anyway I use the electronic viewfinder which is on my NEX-7.

I couldn't get a response from anyone on this topic so I just went ahead and bought the sel55210 lens a couple weeks ago. Like you said, it attaches with no problems, however, with my nex-3 it seems to work just fine. I can't say that I have used the camera all that much with the new lens so there could be some subtle problems that I haven't encountered yet but mine definitely does take pictures. It also doesn't seem to have any problems using any of the default shoot modes and it auto focuses just fine. Have you tried updating your camera's software? There might be something with the initial release of the software that doesn't allow this lens to work.
