As far as I can understand this would be the so called "stop down" working mode, the same you have to use with old lenses like Contax 35mm... am I right? The viewfinder gets darker and darker as you close diaphragm, until you can't judge focus. I still can't understand if the metering system of the camera work with the lens, but maybe I already know enough to realize it was a silly idea. I'll take the ZE version and maybe an "eos to e-mount" adapter to use 50mm on Nex-5. Thanks for your reply. Nicola

Hi Nicola,
You should bear in mind that the Canon mount ZE lenses do not have an aperture ring, so if you can't change f-stop electronically on the NEX, you should go for the Nikon mount.
