Fred,

I have tried many Sony cameras and I never was happy with the ergonomics of
their cameras.

I have the Novoflex Adapters.  They are a little sloppy on the fit, the
mount rotates slightly when it's mounted on the camera and this could affect
the exposure so you have to be aware of that.   I have the MFT/NIK one for
Nikon and the MFT/LEM for my m lenses.

I am very happy with the camera.  It's good in low light, gets good battery
life, takes sd cards.

File management with the AVCCAM format takes a bit of getting used to, it's
a little strange and pretty rigid.
