Does anyone use this with a Nex? It seems to me this is a much better &amp; cheaper choice than the 24-70mm 4.....

Using this lens with a nex is ludicrous. It would be like mounting a water heater onto a cereal box. This lens isn't cheaper, the nex lens is overpriced! Small cameras are marvels of engineering but they are an acquired and expensive taste.

Check the spec's properly at the sony site. I bought this for my NEX7 because it was the one suggested in the Amazon description. I still have it because I through out the packaging so its useless to me. Check at Sony.com to make sure its compatible.

I'm not sure with the NEX7, Mrs, Smith. I can only suggest researching more or contacting SAFE SYNChotline. Sorry!

I have that lens and it worked with my NEX-C3. obviously the focus is manual but it works very well. Preferably with tripod. regards

I tested in a NEX 3, is just an extension including the lens electronic contacts, so camera is able to control zoom, focus, aperture etc. Mounts and body are plastic if want to use heavy lens or keep it all the time in the camera look for other option. It works as expected with the 16-50 maximum magnification is at 16mm but let you less dept of field.

I have been using the 24-70 2.8 for a while now on my 7D and I find that the range is not optimal for outdoors. I can get some great shots at 70 mm, but at 24 mm the shots just are not wide enough - close but not there. Upgrading (or downgrading) to the 17-55 2.8 IS USM this week. I think it will be a way better lens for a cropped sensor camera. It will allow me to get some landscape shots that I was just not able to achieve with the 24-70.Side note: tried the 24-70 2.8 on my friend's 5D MII and it was awesome - It would be my lens of choice if I had a full frame camera.

Hey A.M.M Arguello, I noticed in your initial post you mentioned you have the NEX-3 camera. I also noticed in your last post that you ordered the 55-210 mm zoom lense. Have you had a chance to use the 55-210 mm zoom lense with your NEX-3 yet? Have you had any problems? I only ask because on the sony website this lense does not list the NEX-3 as a compatible camera. However I think this has to do with the fact that the NEX-3 was technically a discontinued model when this lense was released. Any first hand experience you can provide would be much appreciated.

I've tried both and I like the 24-70 far better. It is a sharper, faster lens.

I have a NEX 6 so don't know if this will work for a NEX 7. But for my camera, I went to the Menu, chose 'Setup' and then chose the "Relsease w/o lens' option as advised by Rokinon support staff and it worked fine...good luck

I bought the 24-105 lens recently because I thought the IS would make up for my lack of a higher aperture in low-light situations. It does to an extent, but I have decided that I want the f/2.8 for other reasons. So I'm trying to sell my 24-105 so I can buy the 24-70. I do wish the 24-70 had IS, but it's really not necessary because it's just a faster lens. It really depends on your use. If you are using it for weddings, you may want to consider the 24-70 because of the faster focusing and better handling in low-light situations. If you are using it for a general walk-around lens, the 24-105 will do just fine. I love mine and I almost want to keep it and buy the 24-70, but I can't afford both right now and I need the 24-70 for my business. You can see some sample photos from the 24-105 at my website: www.sarakelley.net. Email me there if you want more input or have any questions.

Wish I could help you but the Nex-6 is my first Nex camera and I don't know much about the others. Sorry

Hi, I have an A58 and the beer can lens works perfectly in auto mode. Hope this helps... I am not sure about the mount on the Nex though !!!

I use it on a Nex6 & found no vignette on any of my lenses. Works best on longer focal lengths. 135 MM in APS-C is, for me, the sweet spot.

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

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 have an nex 5. It did not work for me. It fit but didn't work. Everything was blurry. But I am no camera expert.

I bought the E-Mount version of this lens for Sony's NEX 5R camera. It comes with a lens hood already. It is threaded for 46mm lens filters so I suppose you could get a different lens hood at that size, but I cannot vouch if the dimensions are the same for the Micro 4/3 version that you appear to be interested in.
