I've been using a Nex 7 since February 2012.  It isn't about just the M
lenses; putting a 400mm 3.5 that becomes a 600 is quite nice.  Frequently
you can find all kinds of very interesting lenses from the past; the Konica
57mm F1.2 that has astigmatism out the &*%^&% which can be wonderful with
point light sources.  I could go on.

My belief is that the new M will be even better as it is full frame and has
focus peaking as well.  It is a great time to use old lenses creatively.
