I value this site a lot for its thorough reviews. However, I receive no value from the recent spate of reviews placing unusual lenses on the NEX, a camera few of us own. Please move on.

Not only do I disagree, I think there should only be NEX reviews from now on. Since almost any lens (APS-C or 35mm, reflex or mirrorless) can be mounted to a NEX body, it is a universal back that allows comparison of any lenses, and purely lenses, regardless of brand. NEX normalizes the playing field.
Anyways, there are 7 Leica M mount lenses tested on NEX, vs. 300+ on other systems. Klaus and the rest of the PZ crew do a good job of balancing commercial hits (i.e. Nikon/Canon) vs. more unusual optic-phile stuff.
And if you want change, then you can always do something more constructive about it:
